VB & VB.Net

I had read abt the difference between VB & VB.Net but i don't get the point.

Please anyone can reply to it.

I know that VB.Net is the programming language and is to be done in Visual Studio.Net 2005.

Now,i want to clear my doubt that why people tell that VB as VB.Net ??

The other languages like C#,J# are also used other that VB then why only VB is known as VB.Net and C# is not known as C#.Net or J#.Net ??

Visual Basic has been around for quite awhile and dates the .NET framework by many years. When Microsoft produced the .NET framework, they reworked Visual Basic to take advantage of the many benefits brought by .NET. This version of Visual Basic (called "VB.NET") is an entirely different animal than the old standby Visual Basic.

The reason that you don't hear the distinction between C# and C#.NET or J# and J#.NET is that there was no C# or J# before .NET came into being. There was good old C and Java, but we dont' encounter the semantic similarities with those languages. I guess they could have called VB.NET "VB#," but something tells me that wouldn't have gone over too well.

If any of you have further insights/clarifications to make, please chime in!

Microsoft actually did something helpful by introducing the .NET Framework. It is a common base for all the .NET languages (C#,J#,VB.NET...).

Now two programmers with different language backgrounds can work on the same project. One component of a program can be coded in C#, another in VB.NET and the two components will work together without any problems.

I remember when I first learned what .NET was I was amazed by the concept.
