Whats Different From Visual Basic 6.0?
There are many differences between building components with Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .NET. In most cases, these changes enhance the development experience by making it easier to build complex applications, test and deploy components, and share components between applications. • .NET projects provide many features that make organizing the project’s files easier. Instead of one class per module (a .CLS file),Visual Basic .NET code modules may contain multiple classes while in Visual Basic 6.0 each class occupied a separate .CLS file. The .NET approach allows you to logically group classes within a single code module to make it easier to recognize when classes are related (such as data access, financial, disk and file management, etc.) • .NET components are not registered on the user’s computer; Visual Basic ActiveX components must be installed and registered on each user’s computer. Each .NET component carries all of the interface information necessary for consumer applications
