.Net Explanation

Question

I have a program done in Access2003 and am looking to migrate it into VB. What I am looking for is an explanation of VB.Net. Is it used just for developing Web based programs because mine is not web based? Should I just use VB6 instead. I am just looking for some explanations of what VB.Net is to determine if it is what I want. Sorry for such a basic (possibly stupid) question but I am just starting my research. Thanks

Actually, I disagree with Patrick. VB.NET is not a new version of VB6. VB.NET is a fully object oriented language (VB 2005) and it is nothing like VB6. VB.NET is pretty similar to C# and other .NET languages and share same CLR and Common Library features as C#. So if you are planning to move to VB.NET, think components, think object oriented. Check out www.vbdotnetheaven.com for tutorials and articles on VB.NET. YES, VB.NET is used for building both Windows and Web applications. Good luck.

Hi, You can use Vb.net for windows applications development also. If you want your application to be web enabled, .Net is the right choice to invest. Regards bhar knowledge is power http://www.vkifotek.com
