Hello,
the difference between the two languages is like day and night. It is like comparing VB 6 to C++. Actually VB.Net is now closer to C++ than VB 6. You need a completly new frame of mind to work with .Net if you have a VB 6 background.
I hope that answers your question.

Actually the difference between this two languages is not that huge... some small codes with no complex instructions will work fine in both languages. I think the main difference is that VB is better designed for creating desktop applications, and .net allows you to create web or enterprise applications 2.

this is the reason that many features in VB are not allowed in VBnet, but it has many others, like variables than will be saved and that wont be saved each time you update a webpage. (and many others).

I have to agree with Clanguage - to a VB6 programmer, the later versions look like Java or C++. It's often possible to work out what the code does, but I'd hate to try and write it.
