Right, now, what major alteringdifferences were there between those 3 ¿
Did the whole ball - game change, did VB 6 revolutionise such as the .NET Framework ¿ No.
Did they reinvent the wheel everytime with each of those 3 versions of VB ¿ No
I'm not talking about improved features of the language / product. In any case, I could still do most things with VB 5 & 4 & 6.

Now, look at .NET 1.1 ( actually any version prior to 3.0 ), then look at .NET 3.0 and higher

Get what I mean ¿
I knew they could not have been to far apart and it is true that those 3 are not drastically different though VB4 seemed like a not quite ready for prime time player.

I have actually not looked much into anything above version 2 as of yet. Most of my apps have been done in 2003 and 2005 due to the hardware I am developing for. e.g. CE.Net 4.x requires the use of 2003 where V5 requires 2005.

Keep in mind though that VB4 5 and 6 where a major change from VB3 as was VB3 from previous verious of MS Basic like VBDos and Quick basic. Much of the syntax remained but the mindset was totally different and in the long run much better and faster to develop in.

I see dot net the same way as the earlier versions of VB.
