Hello VB Experts,
Mr. Bob Powell's posting motivated me to ask those of you that work and have
invested a considerable amount of time with VB, about what the future holds.
I hear that the new VB.NET is not compatible with the last VB version. Its
incompatibility goes so far as to force developers to learn new and different
ways in order to continue using this programming language.
Is this true? What is the point in spending a lot of time with VB6.0 if only a
small portion of your code will be able to keep up with future VB versions?
Do you tell your customer that their applications are stuck on V6.0, doomed to
obsolescense?
Tell me if I am way off base in my conclusions. I really think that the
ability to use RBase with VB is a powerful and very beneficial option. I am
concerned with MS's attitude of scrapping a platform with little concern over
end users and individuals that make their livelihood with their product. I am
very leery of using a product that can place my customers and myself in this
type of predicament.
TIA
Manuel
