"Poldie" <Poldie@xxxxxxxxx> spake the secret code

Thanks, but I specifically want to learn VB.net as I know VB6 extremely
well, and it will come in handy in my career (whereas the DirectX stuff
I'm learning is purely for fun).

VB.NET is C# with words replacing all the punctuation. I say this as
someone who has learned both around the same time.

About the only syntactical differences between the two is that VB.NET
has the 'with' block for accessing members of a class/struct and C#
has the 'using' block for conveniently working with IDisposable.

VB.NET 2005 got a using block, but C# 2005 didn't get a with block.
