VB6 old, VB.Net new. Current version found in Visual Studio 2008 ( I think
the VB version is sometimes refered to as VB9).

You can download an free express version of the studio for VB.NET from
Microsoft.

Visual Basic, C#, .NET Framework Namespaces and the CLR (common language
runtime) are all collectively refered to as the .NET Framework.

If you've not got a .NET Framework then go to windows update and it will
sugest that you download it. (Install 3.5) Once installed you will have all
of the above.

You could now write some VB.NET code using Notepad, save as a .vb file and
compile it with the vbc.exe found somewhere in Framework folders.

However rather than using notepad it would be a lot better to download the
Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition:-

That lot should give you plenty to play around with.
