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.

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

right, though you can still use some vbs in your code but for the most part there is no reason for it.

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 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.

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