Re: VB vs VB.net

Rick/Spoo,
Can you give me an example of what the difference is? I took
beginning VB. would that give me one up on learning VB.net?

I've never used VB.net, but my impression is that
it requires more lines of code to do the same
thing that VB can do.

A few years back, when .net first came out, I checked
out the equivalent of drawing a line on a picturebox
control...

In VB, it is one command: PB1.Line (x1,y1)-(x2,y2), color

I vaguely recall that in VB.net it took about 3 lines
of code...

..pen down
..draw line
..pen up

or something along those, ahem, lines. Maybe someone
more knowledgeable can expand on this.

That would give you a little head start, yes. I will warn you though. Most
people I know that KNEW VB and learned .NET, went back to VB.

One exmple that comes to mind rather quickly is that .NET made working with
text files harder. They did away with the Open and Close command. You have
to use the FileSystemObject for them, which makes it more lines of code, and
some antivirus programs don't like programs that use the FileSystemObject
and will call it a virus. At least they used to.

A lot of the controls from VB are not in .NET. Sure, you can use them if
you have them, but you have to go through the back door to do so, so to
speak.

As much dislike I have for .NET, it does have it's good things as well. It
does have a built in print preview control that makes printing easier. The
Integer variable is split into 3 sizes. The combo box can store a ton more
items.

.NET is ALL object oriented programming. All forms past the main one has to
be dimmed as an object first in order to view it. So Form2.Show is not
available.
