Hey guys its lukef555 with some simple questions involving Visual basic,im going to be taking a class on it next year but i cant wait and i wanna start learning now.

• Are Runescape clients made in VB?
• Whats the diffence between VB and Vb.net?
• To make programs in VB do you learn code or what?

Thanks,


Lukef555

Depends how you want to make it. If you want to make something like swiftkit then you would use either VB (VB6) or VB.Net (Visual Studio). You can program them in any language.
I think the last question is obvious..

Edit: Sorry I didn't answer your second question. There are really too many to mention, just google it. I don't know anything about VB myself but I think it is a native language whereas VB.Net isn't. As I said above you would use VB6 to code in VB. VB6 is really old though and I don't think Windows 7 supports it.

VB6 is just older than VB.NET, and generally inferior. It's not native though.

No version of VB is native. They all have runtimes.

VB uses some native practices.

If you develop using Vb.net then I suggest targeting the 2.0 framework as most computers have it already installed.

I'm a developer who works on the bleeding edge (.Net Framework 4.0) and always need clients to download the framework.

VB6 is older and in my experiences, harder to use than vb.net. I say this because with vb.net and the frameworks, there are ALOT of things already done for you to save you the time of creating custom functions.

Not to mention its getting harder to find a IDE for VB6 and such...

Personally I use C# (the dim's and crap annoy me) but if your using VB.Net they both use the same library's and have the same namespaces/classes. Just different syntax's...
