I have some questions: 1) What's the learning curve for someone with good background in VB6? 2) what are the main advantages of VB.Net compared to VB6 and what will I be missing from VB6? 3) With VB.NET 2010 "ultimate" edition is it possible to make stand alone apps or they will be depending on net anyway even for the EXEs?
View 12 RepliesI am trying to migrate a source code from BASIC to VB.NET 2010
Dim obj(4096)
Dim strng As String
obj$ = string$ + ".obj" -> Error: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Object'I can get away with this in VB6 but i can't in VB.NET.I can't convert obj using CStr either. ToString won't work because it work on the left side of an assignment.

C#'s edge over VB
I'm programming in VB.net because I'd former experience in VB 6.0 and I've familiar with its syntax. I know that C# is preferred by the biggest part of .net programmers. I know that C performance had superior performance against many other languages, but there is a good advantage in the same .net framework? There is a quite good reason for advicing me if should I migrate right now from VB to C#?

At a colleague's workplace, a decision is trying to be made about whether to use both languages in the workplace or to standardize on one? There are some VB.Net developers and some C# developers. What advantages or disadvantages would there be to using both or to using one? Edit: To clarify this question, the question is not asking the advantages of one over the other, rather what are the advantages/disadvantage of standardizing on both languages versus standardizing on one. For instance, one point could be that C#/VB.Net may have more third party tools available and hence it may make sense to standardize all developers on that language.

View 1 RepliesI have a legacy VB6 ActiveX control used in IE to provide control of a parallel-port device from a browser application. I wrote this thing about five years ago; It's a pretty simple control, and it doesn't require a lot of maintenance. However, I've noticed that running the VB6 tools is becoming more and more painful over time, so I'm looking at the possibility of migrating this code to VB.net 2008.This thing is super-simple. It implements IObjectSafety and exposes a single public method, which we call using Javascript. The control has no UI other than a single box with a caption that displays its name and version number-- useful for troubleshooting deployment issues.

My new component is exactly similar as the parent one except from that I have overridden the constructor create.I wonder why the .NET, although it accepted the component, it did not provide the inherited properties, methods etc.
