Upgrade?

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 I knew I could turn buy a console for 600 and sell it for 10000, I
would have stood in line too....

Thanks,

Windows XP was pretty much backward compatible with VB 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and
6.0. I firmly believe that in the very near future, there will be a
framework and Vs.net 2003 and Vs.net 2005 will run on Linux and backward
compatibility will probably be maintained in future Linux upgrades at least
for a reasonable period of time.

However, if one wants to shell out 1500 dlrs or so to upgrarde to Vista and
vs.net 2005 then welcome to it.

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.

Hi I am in the process of learning javascript and was wondering how often the web professionals update I.E & N.N? 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

Our company just upgraded to VS 2005 (and by the way, I love it!) I was able to migrate the code for our product from VS2003 to VS2005 with only a few snags, and it's working great now. However we are trying to come up with a non-intrusive way to allow our fairly large number of clients to be able to upgrade to the new .NET 2.0 version of our product. We have our own auto-upgrade code inside our product (it downloads updated dll's from...
