Does VB 2005 have full access to the framework?

I've read that the framework is completely accessible to c#.

Is that true for VB? If not, what parts of the framework are not accessible
to VB?

Herfried,

I believe there are more in VB. Otherwise I'd use C#.

Whatever you do there will never be a "Dim" in C# and you cannot withouth
that.

Just kidding,

Except when it isn't, such as the handful of members that use
pointers.

However C# is of course full of RAD tools, maybe that there are more in
VB.Net however not in the major parts.

Maybe... maybe not. When I started using VB.NET several years ago I missed
(a little bit) the VB6 Tools | Add Procedure tool that provided a pretty
face on creating properties and methods and such. Ironically C# has a pretty
advanced version of this tool (in Class Designer right click on a class and
select Add Method, Add Property, etc.)!!! I never understood why VB.NET
didn't have this!

I'm going to go check right now if 2003 has it! I completely forgot about
that thing. :-)

Correction... I meant to say 2005....
And it doesn't... though I guess the same functionality is achieved via the
Class Diagram Designer. Still, I kinda liked the C# utilities and still
think they should have been in VB first.

Although by using the Marshal classes in the framework together with IntPtr
type, even VB.NET can use pointers. :-)

Hi everyone. I've been trying to move some small applications written in vb.net 2003 to vb.net 2005 express just for testing purposes.

I haven't done much testing so it might just be this one computer but I was curious to know if anyone else has experienced these kind of problems when moving to the 2005...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
