Re: VBScript or VB.Net? (off-topic)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have no VB6 skills. But from my understanding VS/VB has many improvements. My buddy specifically mentioned connecting to databases being much easier (data sources). I thing their is some very cool features that have been added. I hope that more people with VB6/VB.NET-FU will speak up. Again though, I would stick to the stuff you know for real world projects.
If you are interested, you can check out my first "real" project (it is released under an atleast open source-ish license) at the below web address;

Bob,

Thank you for your reply.
You are correct, i have used ADO and WMI in the past. But do you think it's worth takeing a look at VB.Net, is it easier to do the same task in VB.Net?
I am not developer but i like to learn and do programming and it's part of my sys admin job. I was thinking about future.... and not sure if VB.Net can be helpful in System work.

Thanks again for your reply.
