Sealbreaker Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 > and im looking dor something higher then vb6.netAs far as I know there is no vb6.net . Prospekt.net is based on visual basic.net which will probably be supported in future windows releases.-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcsnider Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Don't let anyone fool you, VB6 was also going to be dropped in Vista, 7, and 8 lolzThey may try to make it harder to install the IDE (the programming application) again in order to encourage moving away from it, but the vb6 runtime (what is needed to run the engine) will be in windows 9 no doubt which means the engine still has 3-4 years of life (minimum) in it but by that time V will already be out lol.

Rob Janes Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 You won't see them drop support for VB6 programs for a very long time. While it's antiquated at this point, to many enterprise level applications and businesses utilizing applications built with it. You'll definitely see some sort of backwards compatibility to support running older applications, even if it uses a built in emulation method like the current Windows On Windows.You needn't worry! Keep on trucking and learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceyWolf Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If / when there is a vb.net engine available you shouldnt worry about ever losing support with it. C# is Microsofts baby, it will be alive as long as microsoft is, and even though they may not use it, alot of C# developers that keep the language alive with microsoft support the existance and portability of vb.net as well so it will last right along side :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
