I don't know about anyone else - has anyone else used the VB.NET Beta release - do they see major changes in the programming language? I feel like I did when I first used VB - have to relearn the dam product.

I think it's time the user communitystarts a small revolt against MS and it's practices. They said - oh you will not see any changes in VB to VB.NET - just some added functionality ... I think they did a major sex change to the product. It doesn't feel or look like the VB-6 that was agreat product. I think - I will stay with VB-6 and not move to the VB.NET - or should people start saying - the .NET is DOT.NOT

What do others think about - it have you used it???

i haven't used it yet but i saw a demonstration of it. since then i have picked up a C and C++ book so i can adapt to vb.net. that's just my opinion of how i have to better understand it.

I have been using the Beta for a while now and your are right that they have changed things. It is not the same although once you get used to it, it's pretty good. The biggest change to the system is the fact that now there is an object library to learn. This, for me atleast, is the biggest part of the learning curve. As for the MS examples...they don't do the language any justice at this point. Overall I now cannot wait for VB.NET to come out.

Just my $.02 CND ($.01 US)
