Hey! Here's one I can answer! <g>

No... no difference.... well, actually, the "dotnet" part was dropped all
together so it's just VB 2005 now (which is too bad... imo... should be
called B#, then there'd be no confusion)

No, but there are lots of differences between VB6 and VB.NET or VB 2005...
Most people think the differences are an improvement and you do get the .NET
Framework which gives you a lot of functionality.

I am coming from the VB6 world and I noticed the Express download at msdn.
Till now, I have basically ignored the .net world and I would like to learn.
Is there a difference between VB 2005 Express and VB.net?

No comment ;-)

That really should say "a lot of built in functionality". For desktop apps,
if you've already coded all of this functionality in VB3-6, the framework
only adds frustration.

For Web/Mobile, can't beat .Net. For the desktop? I have my doubts.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Fortunately, C++ still works like before :p
