    you have to chose to learn one or the other but there is no big difference in what they can do, just mainly small annoying bits of code and syntax which is different in one to the other

    well both are :roll: :roll: . Just not in the same way. Asloe vb6 has more of a follwing. But you can use some vb6 source into vb.net if you know what you are doing

    oh i thought that you were talking about something else. so if i want to make programs, would it be easier to just get the vb6 so if i have a question(seeing how many questions i had with scar that means a ton :) ) everyone will know what im talking about. where can i download vb6 (preferably not torrents)

    how big is the code difference because i HATE vb6 it looks very old. vb 2005 seems much better.

    I would say that it is alot easier. Here is some actually pretty comlex vb6 code
    Code (Text):
    1.  ElseIf InStr(1, strHTML, "<b>Item not found!</b>") Then
    2.         intmiss = intmiss + 1
    3.         lblmiss.Caption = intmiss
    4.         lstResults.AddItem "Missed Item" & txtitem.Text & " For " & strprice & "Neopoints From " & strPerson & " " & "At " & Time & ""
    5.         lstResults.AddItem "Waiting" & txtwait.Text & "seconds"
    6.             intwwwait = txtwait.Text
    7.             SecondsToWait (intwwwait)
    8.         End If
    vb.net has alot more things and annoying stuff to put.
    There are stuff called xp visual styles you could use to make it look more modern. You get used to it. I thought it was very old but now I love it. I would say about 10x easierr. I know both
