Where is .net

I am a newbie to VB.NET so I am starting from scratch.
I have Visual Studio 6 but have only installed the VB^ portion of the intallation disk. Do I need additional software or is VB.NET incuded with VS6?
If its included, What is it that I am looking for to install and run?

All help appreciated.

Hey Tropix100,

Simply put VB6 is a COM based development environment, and VB.NET is a whole new Development environment that is totally new concept in developing PC as well as Web based content. VB6 does not support in any way none of the .NET features that you are asking about at all. You can convert some of the VB6 apps upto VB.NET, but it may require some reprogramming on your part to make them work, as well as .NET is a complete and function library, that VB6 only wish it had.

If you want to develop in VB.NET, you can download a free copy of the express version of VB.net from Microsoft website. or you may look into upgrading your copy of VB6.

http://www.microsoft.com/express/

Hope that helps,

Joe P.

Are you attempting to develop a VB.NET application?

If so you'll have to use Visual Studio ...not VB6.
As PianoMan64 has already stated, these are completely different environments to develop in.

Your .NET framework is already installed with Windows....

The .NET Framework is a component of Windows which supports developing Windows applications. You can find it all versions of the .NET framework installed on your computer in the %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework directory.

Please check out this article for more information on what .NET is and how it will help you. When I first learned about it I was absolutely taken by how amazing this framework is...a lot of thought has been put into it to give developers using different programming languages have a common ground.


All the information you need go get started in .NET (concepts, patterns, controls ect.) can be found in the MSDN Library. This resource should get you pointed in the right direction. I recommend bookmarking the MSDN Library and using it as your primary resource when developing in .NET.

It is strongly advisable to use Visual Studio when developing an application in .NET. You can download free "express" versions, or buy a full version.

When you run into problems with your implementation come back to the .NET forum and we'll help you out.
