true and not

well if anyone read what i posted there was the answer to this

if you use funcitons like val() and instr() vb has to look under a namesspace called VisualBasic now like i said before is better to use native .net framework classes instead then does not matter if you use c# or vb, it all dependes how good your programming skills are.

now like i said before is better to forget all you know how vb6 worked before and star fresh, this is the only way you will be doing a true .net app

Using Functions like Asc(), Instr(), etc. in VB 2005 is not part of the .net framework. Instead it calls from a .dll like VB6 does so it is very slow.

C# is much better then VB 2005 since it does not have these functions like Asc() and Instr() so you require to use the built in ones like SubString, IndexOf, and Asc() you will have to build a function for which is easy.

what ill think ill do when i get 2005 is import eliteswitch and then run it and try and fix all the errors and then release the .exe as an update.

then function by function ill slowly convert all the vb6 code to this "true .net" code.

 

[dodge]

that will be the best way to learn .net
