Conclusion
As you can see, quite a bit is involved in the three simple changes that the teams made to create Visual Basic .NET. Despite all of these changes, you should find the development environment, compiler, and language familiar. The skills that you have acquired using Visual Basic 6 are not lost when you upgrade to Visual Basic .NET. The way you create, run, and debug a Visual Basic .NET application is nearly identical to the process you are already familiar with. After all, Visual Basic is still Visual Basic. The spirit is alive and well in Visual Basic .NET.
