Visual BASIC express and Visual BASIC
-
Do these use the same langauge? I ask because I was typing into my school progam ( visual BASIC 6 ) Form1.Print "Hello" and it worked then I typed the same thing into my express edition version, and it didn't work, why is this?:confused:
There is no such thing as visual basic express. Only Visual Studio express for VB.NET Visual basic 6 is not 100% compatible with Visual Basic.NET

VB6 is an old ( out dated and no longer supported ) non OO language that Microsoft has pretty much discarded. VB.NET Express is a free version of VB.NET 2005, which is a new, OO language that happens to use VB syntax. They are almost completely different from one another, your VB6 program will not work in VB.NET. Tell your school that VB6 is rubbish, it's dead, and VB.NET Express Edition is free. That's what they should be teaching you.

Ok, does that mean, that the express edition I have is up to date and is the right one. I need to get books etc. for visual BASIC 2005?
Yes. VB.NEt 2005 is the one to learn, between that and VB6. So, get some books, check out the information online, and remember you can ask any question you like here, but you'll do better if you try to do stuff and ask when you get stuck.
