A google search brought me this page. Not sure if it's relevent to you or not...

It did help sortof....But I was asking programmers who know visual basic and visualbasic.net thought about the two I mean are they actually different (in uses I mean) and I was wondering there thoughts on the subject like what is more user friendly and whatnot thanks for your help though.

.Net is a newer version of visual basic, but it is more advanced and has some .net commands. .net is a lot harder, so if you want easy go with 6.

[covenantslayer117]

Difficulty isnt a problem I just want to know what .net does for you as far as programs and such.

less programs are written in.net at this ti'me because it is newer

NET is Microsoft's set of unified programming languages that allow developers to create enterprise-class Web and desktop applications across C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET and C++.NET. It includes a powerful set of libraries called the .NET Framework that makes it easier and faster to program than ever before

definition of .net

Visual Basic (VB) is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool, that allows programmers to create Windows applications in very little ti'me. It is the most popular programming language in the world, and has more programmers and lines of code than any of its nearest competitors.

personly I would go for visual basics becasue it is the best for neopets I think but some pople say c++ is but thats very hard most people no vb so its easyer to get help on

Thanks I'm already learning c++ right now and I wanted to know which to learn next so I am going to learn visualbasic.Thanks for your help guys.

Learn VB.net because less people know it and I know it, so I can program with you. I only have 1 programming partner, could always use another companion.

[covenantslayer117]

Isnt VB.net a different program?Because I cant afford visual basic AND vb.net:/
What I mean is I have visual baic 6.0 but I want to learn .net if it is more useful.
I mean to ask for those of you who know .net is what is the reason you wanted to learn .net as opposed to regular vb 6?
