I'm currently taking a class on Visual Basic .NET, primarily to get more familiar with the VB coding, but mainly i will only use it for VBScript. Can anyone tell me what in VB.NET that i won't be using in VBScript, or what I should pay special attention to that i will be using? |

Basically everything. Because VB.Net and VBScript are two completely different languages (well similarities) asp.net pages ie are not based on asp vbscript anymore, the use well vb.net or c# or... Though once you get the jist of vb.net you will hardly use any classic asp anymore. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Completely different languages? It looks like to me that they share lots of syntax similiarities... |

Similarities yes and if you know vb.net you will have an easier time with vbs but nevertheless vb.net has a lot of differences to vbs as well as to vb ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

right, though you can still use some vbs in your code but for the most part there is no reason for it. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

vbscript is a subset of the vb programmng language. vb.net is an expanded version of the vb programming language. Classic asp exposes about a half dozen classes (e.g. session.xxx, response.xxx, request.xxx, etc) to the developer through vbscript or javascript. Asp.net exposes the 3400+ classes of the .Net framework to the developer who can use any of a dozen different languages. VB.Net (the language), and C# tend to be the most commonly used ones. Borland has a free c#builder that integrates with Visual Studio. Although you can use WebMatrix available at http://www.asp.net - www.asp.net to develop asp.net apps in Vb.net or C#, Visual Studio (either the full Vs, or the VB.net or C#.nt versions) has Intellisense which is worth it's weight in gold when you're dealing with 3400 classes. The way intellisense works, is if you type system. it will provide a drop down list of what could come next.
BTW... the Borland C#builder doesn't need visual studion, it can run stand-alone. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

| Yeah, i'm already starting to like the intellisense. I'm using Studio.Net and loving it so far... |
