Visual Basic .Net

6 New Member
I heard that Microsoft may be cutting off Visual Basic. net in the near future.
Anyone knows if that's true or not?

Probably from a C# junkie ;) vb.net is here to stay.

Although, in Australia they have a beer called VB so if MS lost a copyright battle. I hear that MS is interested in marketing to outback Australia, so they may be planning to use another Australian beer name XXXX. That's right I'm waiting for XXXX.NET (beer.net not porn.net ;).

That would nearly be as good as marketing cars named Pajero (wanker in Spanish) to catholic south american countries lol.

I thought you were joking, but that's funny.

Why do we have to contact MS for a problem that has been with this compiler from at least the beta of VS 20005. I am so sick and tired of the 30 - 40 clicks it takes to dismiss VS when there is a problem. Can they not just post the fix. I see no reason to contact MS since I have most likely sent about 1500 dumps to them and I would think...

Hi there My compay has a number of Visual Basic 6 applications which are front endeed onto either SQL Server or Microsoft Access databases. Now we are in process of planning to re-write these applications into Visual Basic.Net. My managers main thought is that Visual Basic 6 is (or has!) stopped being supported by Microsoft.

I have seen the terms Visual Basic 2005 and VB.NET. It seems that sometimes they seem to be referring to the same thing but sometimes they are not. I also run into terms like VB9 and VB10.
