that is what microsoft wants you to believe.

I think 6.0 is used a lot more then .net as nobody wants to pay the huge amount of money required to keep up with the latest and useless developments.

C++ standard is still the same. So for making code there is no need to switch.
However if you rely on the "handy" libraries for a gui of MS then you need to upgrade

If you use a different library for you gui then there is absolute no need to upgrade

First, VS is not only VC++. Second, .NET is platform independent. .NET is a strategy of creating big distributed systems (like J2EE or CORBA). For example, try to create Web-services (it is very important for companies today, you know) using VS 6.0. I think it'll take VERY much time. As I said, using VS 6.0 is only habit. Many companies and programmers don't know about advantages of VS .NET. Of course, it's very expensive. Is it worth it? Yes, of course, if you are a professional.

There is no advantages of using visual studio it's all rubbish and there is no point in paying money for rubbish.

k, the biggest difference is the speed!!!
I did the following test with vb6 and vb.net 2003:

code in vb6:

Dim T As Long
Dim I As Long
Dim A As Double
A = Timer
For I = 1 To 100000000
 *T = T * 20
Next I
MsgBox(Timer - A)

To run this code, it took only 360 ms.

code in vb.net 2003:

Dim T As Long
Dim I As Long
Dim A As Double
A = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Timer
For I = 1 To 100000000
 *T = T * 20
Next I
MsgBox(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Timer - A)

To run this code, it took 5203 ms!

Like in this code, vb.net is 15 times SLOWER than vb6!!!

so... which one is better... :whistle:

.net is an enterprise IDE. Its like comparing the free Eclipse IDE to IBMs Rational Developer Enterprise. Enterprise = slower but more useful tools for creating applications.

It takes me about 2 minutes to create and deploy a simple EJB as a web service using Rational - if I had to hand code the deployment files with Eclipse it would take me hours.

If you are writing games... I havent seen many games lately that use web services!
