Re: VB.Net advice needed

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for the clarification. I'll check out the link.

But they have nothing to do with the VB language. These breaking
changes impact both VB and C# equally.

It's good to see that Microsoft is an Equal-Opportunity Annoyer.

I should qualify what I said a little. There will be no deprecated
language features in VB-Orcas, but there haven't been any deprecated
language features in any of the VB releases since VB.NET 2002 came out.
It's a pretty safe statement to make. Microsoft made their cut of
language features when they jumped to .NET. For instance, they removed
GoSub/Return at that time. Microsoft has no reason to remove language
grammar that they worked hard to included in .NET. (Personally, I would
like to see the While/End While statement removed from the language,
since it is fully replaced by Do/Loop.)

However, there may be "breaking changes" in the .NET Framework classes
in the Orcas release timeframe. Microsoft periodically modifies
specific class features from release to release, and some of these
changes can impact specific programs. You can find lists of these
changes on the MSDN web site
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/breakingchanges/).
But they have nothing to do with the VB language. These breaking
changes impact both VB and C# equally.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering about Orcas, and its impact
on the projects I'm working on.

There are no syntax features slated for deprecation in the Orcas
release. There are some language changes planned, but they are all
additions to existing VB2005 syntax. If you choose not to use the
new
features, you won't even notice the difference in syntax.

Yes, thats the replacement for the VB.NET language. Its still going
to
be called VB (like last time) but there are major syntax and
language
changes planned..... making the current language obsolete.

I would just learn C#. Its pretty common knowledge that VB.NET
is
very likely to be discontinued in the next release of Visual
Studio
because of the lack of interest in it. I can confirm this as I
have
a friend at Microsoft that mentioned it to me.
Good luck with the course.

Hi

I've just finished a collegue cource in beginning Vb.net
programmeing,
and
was supposed to take an advanced cource in VB.net next semester
learning
more abour object oriented programming. But this cource is
terminated.
By options now is to either take a cource in C# or a cource in
ASP.Net
with
vb.net as language of choice. What would be most benefitial? The
C#
is
targeted on developers with Java/C++ experience, and the ASP.Net
on
vb.net
prorgrammers.
Are there any drawbacks with ASP.Net? I realise it is not the
same
as
Windows development, but I will learn mote VB, and for OOP
programming I
have some good learning books.
Please advice
