True... but, it was a "given" since the "BASIC" keyword support in VB6
(all versions of VB) worked the same as the earliest versions of BASIC.
Take a look at File I/O... you can almost grab a quick-basic app written
in 1980, copy the file i/o section, paste it into VB and run. Just about
every keyword was supported (no Inkey$ (thank goodness) and no ANSI.SYS
(thank goodness) to deal with)... which means screens had to be re-layed
out and procedural programming needed to be replaced by event driven
programming. So, implementation's different but the language stayed
intact.

The file io is a good example of why they had to make vb.net incompatible
with vb6.


What is your basis for that statement? That close to topping the list as one
of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard or read. It doesn't even make
sense.
