What's the difference between VB (Visual Basic ) and VB.NET ? There are some superficial resemblence between VB and VB.NET like it is so between C++ and Java, VB.NET is adaptation of BASIC to the use of 'Net programming.
When people say .NET programming do they mean VB.NET or is it another language ? Not necessary VB.NET, .NET is a frameworked runtime similar to Java, but Microsoft purposely made it flexible enough that any language can use it given a proper runtime layer, C++ C# VB Java JScript Python all had .NET programming treatment.

.NET is a group of languages using a common runtime. What that means is you can write programs in VB.NET, C#.NET, C++.NET or J#.NET, and they will all compile and run on a computer that has the .NET framework installed.
VB.NET, as mentioned earlier, is a newer version of Visual Basic. The constructs and syntax are fundamentally the same between the two, but VB.NET does do things somewhat differently than VB.

basically, in new age, when people refer to VB, they are referring to VB.NET. VB was part of Visual Studio 6.0, .NET soon replaced it. I prefer using C# over VB. A lot of people use VB with classic asp.

The main difference is OOPS concept.VB.NET support oops concepts so it is called object oriented programming language.But vb is not fully supported oops concept so it is called object based programming language.
