VB6 and VB.net

VB6 and VB.net are VERY different languages.

They do share some syntax and the name but that is about it.

Please note that this is written by a VB6 developer so may be biased

VB.NET has some major improvements on VB6... It support threads, control creation at runtime (yes VB6 has a trick for that), nicer setup projects...

When I first migrated to VB.NET I really hated all the changes they made, but now after getting used to it, I can really see that it is still VB... so are they different languages ? No I don't think so... it's just evolution... Like we moved out of our caves and into our houses, VB6 took the next step as well...

I probally will hate VB.NET 2005 as well at first...
