 How different is VB.NET compared with VB6
Hi,
Previously I using VB6 to develop all my VB application. Recently my company is planning to upgrade our development tools to .NET version. May I know what's the different between VB6 and VB.NET?
What's .NET all about?
If I stick back to my usual VB6 programming style without using any of .NET new stuffs, will my VB6 source code be able to develop normally on VB.NET or I need to modify my VB6 source code in order to compile properly on VB.NET?
Pls advise.

- Here's a good "what's different" article: http://www.thescarms.com/vbasic/VB6vsVBNet.asp
And what is different?... everything. The only true similarity is that you still create "forms", and the syntax feels familiar.
- There is a tool that comes with VS2002/3 to convert vb6 apps to vb.net, but most have come to the conclusion that it's better to re-write the apps then deal with the awkward (at best) conversion. This is a project specific subject... you really won't know until you try.
Good Luck,
