I have VB.Net 2003...and I've never really used it...still using VB6.
However...I need to migrate...at least I think I do. Should I be upgrading
to a newer version of VB.net? And what should I be upgrading to?
Thanks for your help...

If you are still working in VB6 and your client base is happy for things
to stay that way, then there's no reason for you to move. VB6 (both the
run-time /and/ the IDE) will run on Vista (at least that's what Our
Friends in Redmond tell us).
VB'2003 is now a minus-one product, VB'2005 is the current version but
"upgrading" from VB "Proper" to either of these is as close to a total
rewrite as makes no odds. Yes, there are upgrading tools, but the code
they generate is nothing like the code that you'd write from scratch
using the newer language.

And since you mentioned Vista, note that VS2003 is not supported on
Vista.
Are you serious??? Do you mean that Microsoft did not design Vista to run
VB2003? That's criminal but typical of Microsoft..scre w the user, we only
want his $$$

Their solution is to have Vista run XP on a virtual pc and then use
vs2003 from there. Great Solution huh? (Loads of sarcasm implied)

Well, 5 years ago, the phrase was "Who needs XP!". 15 or so years ago, it was, "Who
needs Windows!". The rest is history as they say.

Have many of you upgraded to VS 2003?
We have been using Visual Studio 2002, and are somewhat satisfied, except
for the following areas:
Speed - VS2002 apps are dead dog slow to start up, and slow the first time a
form loads. Has this been addressed? We have been all through the "fixes"
that supposedly speed up things in 2002, but they do not work, and are
hoping 2003 is better.

I am in the process of learning javascript and was wondering how often

I mean do you religiously wait for the next upgrade and download it
ASAP when available or do you upgrade only between main version and
don't worry about minor updates?
I currently have I.E 6.0.2600 & N.N 6.2.3
Latest I.E. is 6.0 (SP1)
Latest N.N. is 7.1

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to determine if I have fixed an upgrade
warning. If I delete the green text then the upgrade warning goes away.
However, I would expect it to come back after I rebuild if I haven't changed
any of the code. Can anyone clarify what actions to take with the upgrade
warnings?
Thanks
