right. \n\nas i am doing a degree and have come across this question myself in my VB unit.\n\ni was told by my lecturer;\n\nif you are still using VB6 - i am afraid you are going to have to start moving to VB.net..\n\nVB.net can do some of what VB6 can, but there are some things it cannot do.\n\nVB6 is becoming less used and VB.net more common.\n\nNow would be the time to move to VB.net. You will find some things similar and being able to do some things like you will be used to, but many things will be new.\n\nsorry i cannot help anymore - i cannot find my lecture notes on this.

If you don't really need VB 6, but could work with VB.NET, Microsoft gives away Visual Basic .NET Express, which does pretty much everything a hobbyist / student needs. You can download it directly from them.

I am going to presume, for now, you are talking about Visual Basic.net? Try out the free Visual Basic.net express edition compiler from Microsoft. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/ that's the site to get it.\n\nIf you are talking, however, about visual Basic 6 (or 5,4 etc.) then I don't think there are any free ones.\n\nHowever, if you are talking about a compiler for any random language, search 'the free site' .com\n\nPragmatic Python,

are you looking to compile this program? if so you need to have visual studio installed on your machine to build the project and have it compile the program for you. Else you should be able to google for a VB project and see what they have out there.

The previous .Net version of VB/C#/etc supported both desktop, mobile and web applications, for .Net Framework 1.1+.  The new Visual Studio for 2005 support the .Net 2.0.\n\nMicrosoft is releasing a scaled down version of Visual Studio 2005 with just VB called Visual Basic Express 2005.  It will support the same .Net platform, but NOT do web and mobile developement, nor will it have the XML editor.\n\nSee the link below for more info...

You often see ASP.Net writtin in more VB.Net than C# since the syntax of ASP was based in the realm of VB to begin with (making it more popular). However, C# is climbing steadily in that field. But right now I think if you learned VB.Net you would be able to do a lot in ASP.Net and jump over to C# if you really need to.

Some form of BASIC - the BEGINNER'S All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code. Visual BASIC.net is the most recent version, and can be used to make web-enabled programs. The site I've listed below is run by a college professor who writes textbooks - it's an e-mail list.

Hello,\n\nWell, I havent used VB 6 for a long time (i using c++ now) but if I not mistaken it does write integer and infact any data type (including the ones you may have created yourself) to files...\n\nIt'd be better if you could post your code.\n\n[]s

VB6 uses the Windows Libraries through COM, VB.NET, even though has the same VB syntax, it uses the .NET framework.\n\nVB6 requires a VB6 compiler and it is used to make Windows Programs, I think you are referring to VBS (Visual Basic Script) which is a scripting language, it can be used with ASP to make server scripts, VBS is comparable to JavaScript, only that VBS only works in Internet Explorer.\n\nScripting Languages like VBS and JavaScript do not require a compiler, the script is interpreted by the Internet Browser.\n\nHTML is a Markup language, which is used to create the basic web-page, JavaScript or VBS are used to enhance HTML, as well as CSS (Cascade Styling Sheets), ASP, ASP.NET and PHP are server scripts, ASP uses VBS, ASP.NET uses VB.NET or C# and PHP is PHP's own language.\n\nTo learn more about all web stuff search for W3C, they have all kinds of tutorials up to today's standards.

Well, VB.NET is a language...but with it you can do website development, application development, Windows Services, and more.  So, I'm a little confused by your question.  Here's a few ways I'm interpreting your question, and my answers to them:\n\nIf you mean "design versus programming", then it's a WHOLE DIFFERENT BEAST.  Because VB.NET is a language (just like Spanish or French), you have to learn to 'speak' it in order to use it well.  Sure, Microsoft automates some of it for you, but you don't really unleash the full potential of the language unless you edit it by hand.\n\nIf you mean "application versus web development", then they're pretty similar, under the hood.  VB.NET for web pages is the same VB.NET that you'd use for application development.  There's some significant differences between the two, but someone who codes VB.NET for web pages should have no problem coding VB.NET applications.\n\nIf you are talking about career paths, and which direction is more in demand, then that's a hard one.  Web design doesn't always pay very good...and it's REALLY competitive!  On the other hand, VB.NET isn't a really popular language in the market right now.  See, Visual Basic (the original language) all but ruined any chance VB.NET had of being taken seriously.  Instead of VB.NET, if it were me, I'd learn C# (...which really pains me to say because I'm a VB.NET guy...but hey, I'm being honest here...)\n\nHope at least ONE of those helps!  LOL\n--Dan

Yes you can use a Java object in VB6 but it will have to be wrapped with a COM wrapper. Building the wrapper will probably require C++.

Visual Basic .NET 2005 (also known as VB 8.0)is the latest version of Visual Basic.

From what I have seen, it comes bundled only with the enterprise editions, not the professional editions. Even then I think the bundled version is still the old VSS from VB (6.0d).\n\nThere are several articles on the net that talk about using VB 6.0d with VS.Net 2003. I have included one such article that talks about how they can be used together. \n\nSo in short, it looks like they [Microsoft] made a leap from 6.0d right over 2003 and into VS.Net 2005. VS.Net 2003 has been such a mystery release in terms of support. Oh well.\n\nI hope this helps you. Enjoy!

Actually 3.0 is out.\n\nI installed 2.0 and had problems. \n\n.NET is not so much for us, the average users anyway.\n\nNow I'm very particular what "updates" I install.\n\nStick with 1.1 and keep your Java updated.\n\nOne thing you can to take the load off is to turn off Visual Themes and disable unnecessary Microsoft services.

Hello :\n\nThe .NET Framework enables developers to build, deploy, and run XML Web services and Microsoft .NET–connected applications. It provides a highly productive environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services.\n\nThe Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 redistributable package installs the .NET Framework runtime and associated files required to run applications developed to target the .NET Framework v2.0. The .NET Framework version 2.0 improves scalability and performance of applications with improved caching, application deployment and updating with ClickOnce, support for the broadest array of browsers and devices with ASP.NET 2.0 controls and services.\n\nI have all of these info , \n\nI dont know if enough info \n\nHave a nice day \n\noceanosoft group owner
