I think this is more of a problem with VB6 programmers not taken the time to
use or educate themselves on the changes that .NET brings to the VB world.
It is a same to hear that he is staying with the old school side of VB.

Well, the VB6 programmer who sits next to me has made the jump to
VB.net.  He announced at our weekly meeting that he's just completed his
first VB.net project which was a rewrite of a VB6 application.  I asked
him how many classes he used, he said none.  I asked him if we could
reuse any of the database interactions in other projects, he said,
"Sure, just have to copy/paste the code and change some variables".  

Why oh why did Microsoft carry on the legacy of VB.  We're going to have
a bunch of "VB.net" programs that are nothing more than procedural code
written with the new syntax.  Arrrrrggghhhhh!
