YES you have to change your style of coding. One of the major plusses of
VS.Net is the support for object oriented programming - true OOP and not the
half-assed support that VB6 has. To get the most from this tool you have to
use OOP techniques and that requires not only different coding but a whole
new way of thinking about and planning apps. I find that a good part of the
complaining about .Net comes from people who do not understand this and want
it to be just an upgrade to VB6. Well, that's just not what it is. Yes .Net
has various problems, and VB6 remains a viable tool for many situations, but
IMO you need to know both to be a competent Windows programmer.
