Hello,

How much different is the syntax of VB.NET vs VB6? A couple people at work think that C# is all the rage now and we have a bunch of COM+ objects and applications that run off our app server and I'm not sure if I want to rewrite them in C# or VB.NET. If the syntax is drastically different between the two, then I'll code it in C#, however if its with in 80% of the same syntax, I'll move it over to VB.NET and get it over with. (i'm trying to decide what book to get in order to learn from).

Thank you!

It's pretty close. The syntax is not where the major difference between VB and VB.net is. It's in the capabilities and the fact that it is truly object oriented.
