I have to do a write-up for the guys up stairs. Can someone point me to any
reports about performance between VB6 and VB.NET? Specifically looking for
things like string comparison and string manipulation. Thanks.

Chris.
 
Can't give you hard numbers, but as for string manipulation, .NET provides a
"StringBuilder" class to use when strings (which are immutable) need to be
manipulated. In simple concatentaion via looping, I've seen the use of the
StringBuilder's append method be approx. 1,000 faster than string +=
addition.
 
Thanks but I need some documation to show them. Anything that would state
if VB6 or VB.NET is faster at this type of stuff.

Thanks

Chris
