I am a Visual Basic 6.0 programmer but on a more beginner to intermediate
level. My company has purchased Visual Studio .NET and is expecting me to do
a few things with that. SO here's the question: I've noticed that my VB6
programming knowledge doesn't translate well to Visual Basic .NET. As a
matter of fact I find it hard to even get started. Can anyone suggest a good
resource for becoming familiar with Visual Studio .NET?

Thanks in advance!!
 
Welcom Monica,

I'm experiencing the same. I wanted to use the SET command and the debugger
tells me that it is no longer supported. Nice, but it doesn't tell me what
to use instead. Terabytes of information but such a simple link they left
out. I'm getting nuts with this new language...

Regards,

Marcel

Try replacing it with nothing at all ;) You actually can write VB6 code
without 'SET' also!

In addition to the syntactical articles that are listed elsewhere, you're
going to need to bone up on Object Oriented Programming (OOP) to truely make
the switch to .NET. Try here:

Thank you Cam. I know a lot - not everything - about oop. But still it is
distracting to not use what you have learned and used.fot years. It is the
same as lerning a new speaking language, you need a dictionary, but these
are rare. ;-)
