Development environment

Hi there,

            This is the only better place I was able to find in this forum to
place my question.

is there anyone here who has worked on vb6.

If so, I would like to know what is the environment we do work when writing code
in vb.net

i.e for C# we work with visual studio, how about with vb6.

is there any visual basic environment sort of thing.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

if i understand your question correctly your asking what IDE you need to write
in VB.net, there are actualy a couple answers to that.

1. for ccreating asp.net stuff using VB try http://asp.net/downloads/ and
download Visual web developer express(free) or you can use visual studio 2005 or
VS 2008, both support C# as well as VB.net

2. for stand windows apps try http://www.microsoft.com/express/vb/ and download
Visual Basic Express(free) or purchase Visual Studio 2005 or 2008

if your just wanting to get your feet wet id recommend the express versions,
they're still pretty robust for being free

Also if your wanting to do asp.net stuff, you can actualy use almost any
texteditor to do your coding (ive written a few asp.net sites using notepad)
theres no intellisense and you have to know your syntax and control parameters,
but you can do it

Back in my VB6 days, I used Visual Studio - still do today for VB.Net.  

But the choice is up to you, really.  You could use Notepad for your editor, if
you wanted to, and compile using the command line.  Visual Studio is really just
a wrapper for the compiler + a fancy editor with lots of tools.
