I’m thinking of creating my own website. Since, I know Visual Basic I thought of using it, but something is not clear to me. What is the difference between the two softwares?

Hi this is soman


the difference between VB and VB.net
1. vb is opps based, But dotnet is Completely supported for oops
2. In dot net we can develop console applications, web applications, mobile apps, smart device apps, But this was not possible in vb.
3. Lot of Advanced controls available in vb.net
4. in vb, only recordset concepts ( connection methods) are available, ex. DAO, ADO, RDO methods. But in dotnet ado.net(disconnected Database) method is also availble.
5. Cross language integration, Cross language Debugging and cross langauge inheritance is also possible in vb.net.

These are the main differences i know. Other than this there are lot of differences between vb and vb.net.


thanks

The differences between VB6 and VB.NET transcend the languages. VB.NET is part of a brand new platform, based on the .NET Framework. All languages in .NET are based on this new platform, which allows many great new capabilities for a VB developer. Because the .NET Framework is fully object-oriented, .NET languages also must support OO features. The result is that VB.NET is fully object-oriented. This is a huge difference and is a powerful improvement over previous version of VB. It also introduces another level of complexity along with this new power.

In many ways, VB.NET can be seen as an entirely new language. Oh, much of the syntax is still there, and yes, much of it has changed. But the real differences in VB.NET are in the way we accomplish various tasks. Everything is done through the .NET Framework. All .NET languages use the same .NET classes - C#, VB, COBOL, J#, etc. In short, from a language perspective, much of the syntax will be familiar, but the way to accomplish things has changed dramatically.

From a platform perspective, there are many advantages to .NET over COM+. First and foremost in my mind is the end DLL hell. In .NET, assemblies (analogous to executables in COM), need not be registered with RegSvr32. .NET uses the concept of namespaces. This makes deployment a breeze! In most instances, simply copying files to a destination is all that is needed to complete a deployment. Various application settings can be stored in XML config files which also makes things a bit simpler.

There are many other advantages to .NET:

Full object-oriented capabilities
An incredible IDE
Cross-language inheritance
Real VB (or C#, etc) in ASP.NET, not VBScript
Web service tools
One way to do things, no matter what .NET language you are using

Hiiiiiii

I am agree with your view. Visual Basic .NET is based on the .NET Framework and its object architecture. It is quite different from Visual Basic 6. Visual Basic .NET is fully object-oriented. This is a huge difference and is a powerful improvement over VB.

vb use for develop application programming and vb.net is help full in web development i can see sum best example of vb.net is on webdesigningcompany.net
