2.12. Summary

In this chapter, you have been taken on a whirlwind tour of VB 2005 syntax and seen how it compares with that of VB 6. If you are a VB 6 programmer, you'll be happy to have discovered that much of what you already know is still supported (or enhanced) in VB 2005. The new My namespace is another productive feature that Microsoft has built into the language.

In the next chapter, you will learn how you can use the object-oriented programming support found in VB 2005 to become even more productive than you already are, and you'll learn why object orientation is one of the most important additions to the Visual Basic language.
