Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has dropped .NET
from its name) questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups devoted
exclusively to .NET programming (the languages are different enough to
warrant separate newsgroup support). Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic .NET
related questions...

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields" from
the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above ones
should get you started.
