difference between vb and vb.net

Hi,

- VB6 does not support inheritance, VB .NET does
- VB6 supports interfaces in an awkward way and mostly to support underlying
COM infrastructure, VB .NET fully supports interface-based programming
- VB6 does not support polymorphism, VB .NET does

This is of course not a complete list, just a few key differencies.

The basic premises of OOP are Inheritance, Polymorphism and Encapsulation.
Dmitry's post pretty much gets to the heart of it.

Since creating robust base classes and subclassing them is a the foundation
of re-use,and vb 6 didn't really support inheritance....

Do you have a specific area you are wondering about? This sounds an awful
lot like a question a professor gives sutdents so pardon my ambivalence on
elaborating.

Cheers,

If you really want to discover the differences in detail, I suggest you try
and rediscover the lost art of the internet search. Start with
www.google.com.

As a side note, I think I remember seeing something on msdn detailing the
differences.

1. vb is opps based, But dotnet is Completely supported for oops
2. In dot net we can develop console applications, web applications, mobile apps, smart device apps, But this was not possible in vb.
3. Lot of Advanced controls available in vb.net
4. in vb, only recordset concepts ( connection methods) are available, ex. DAO, ADO, RDO methods. But in dotnet ado.net(disconnected Database) method is also availble.
5. Cross language integration, Cross language Debugging and cross langauge inheritance is also possible in vb.net.

These are the main differences i know. Other than this there are lot of differences between vb and vb.net.
