Appendix D. What's New and Different in Visual Basic .NET 2002This appendix is for readers who are familiar with pre-.NET versions of Visual Basic, specifically Version 6. The text describes the basic changes to the Visual Basic language, both in terms of syntax and usage. General functional changes appear as well, including topics such as error handling and objected-oriented programming support. This appendix assumes that you are familiar with VB 6, so it does not go into the details of how VB 6 handles a given language feature, unless the contrast is specifically helpful. Readers familiar only with versions of Visual Basic before Version 6 will also benefit from this chapter, although only changes made since Version 6 appear here. |
