Abstract
Visual Basic .Net (VB .NET) introduces many exciting features to the VB developer, though these enhancements do cause some minor compatibility issues with legacy code. The new Integrated Development Environment (IDE) incorporates some of the best ideas of VB 6.0 and InterDev to make it easier and more intuitive to create applications quickly using a wider variety of development resources. The code developed in the IDE can then be compiled to work with the new .NET Framework, which is Microsoft's new technology designed to better leverage internal and external Internet resources. The compiler writes the code to Common Language Runtime (CLR), making it easier to interact with other applications not written in VB .NET. Visual Studio .NET is now built on top of the .NET Framework. This is a significant change from Visual Basic 6.0. The .NET Framework takes application development to view the Internet as one's new operating system. The applications will no longer recognize hardware as a boundary limitation. This is an evolution of the Windows DNA model. This new framework is built on open Internet protocols for a standardized interoperability among platforms and programming languages. The .NET Framework may also allow the creation of new types of applications.
