You are asking some pretty wide questions that many of us might not
answer but here goes. As for VB6, many apps are still built around it
and have not changed since. I was working on a project to port VB6 to
..NET and here are the concerns:
There are 3 versions of the .net framework as of today. Notice I used
framework and not just .net cause .net has many areas in terms of
products.
- .net framework 1.0 (not really used)
- .net framework 1.1 (mostly used)
- .net framework 2.0 (recently launched)
It is not a failure. Its actually a great product and it took over
where Java left off. Problem with it though is that the compile code
(CIL) is very easily reversed engineered. All .Net programs are
compiled to CIL and then executed, like the JVM is to java byte code.
You can obfuscate your code but most of them are 3rd part commercial
apps. wonder why MS did not built an obfuscater for the studio
products.
Nice thing about .NET is that there are projects that allow you to run
..NET CIL on any OS platform. Look up Mono for .Net. That is what
interests me the most, being able to cross platform develop using .Net.
C# is also great so look into that.
