Hi
I am having great difficulty in learning .Net as I am proficient with VB. Most of my programs don't require the internet and are locally installed and maintained.
I would like to hear convincing arguments that would change my mind.
Cheers:confused:
 
ok.. this s what i liked about .NET

it types almost everythign in for u

lots of people complain about the IDE changes, but you'l get used to it ;)

i would reccommend keepin both on the same machine.. cuz, vb6 is hard to upgrade to .NET

as for why microsoft spent millions of $ makin .NET..:

ok first of all, Java's principal was(and still is) write once, run anywhere, and it was also, many platforms, 1 language

Microsoft decided to make their .NET framework: 1 platform, many languages ;) i read in some books in the future, ppl will call themselves .NET developers, instead of VB devopers, C# developers, C++ developers, j# developers and so on..

.NET will be (soon) available on Linux, and Pocket PC.... maybe in the future, it will invade Mac(i personally dont think so)

(whew) thats a lot of words coming from a 14 y.o.
 
In contrast to classical VB you now have VB.NET as a full grown object oriented language.

This gives you full benefit of OO-System Design.

It will drastically reduce your maintenance efforts.
It will drastically improve your "code reuse" ratio.
