Answer 2

As of November 2006 there are three versions of Visual Basic .NET.

[edit] Visual Basic .NET

The original Visual Basic .NET was released alongside Visual C# and ASP.NET in 2002. C# — widely touted as Microsoft's answer to Java — received the lion's share of media attention, while VB.NET (sometimes known as VB7) was not widely covered. As a result, few outside the Visual Basic community paid much attention to it.[citation needed]

Those who did try the first version found a powerful but very different language under the hood, with disadvantages in some areas, including a runtime that was ten times as large to package as the VB6 runtime and an increased memory footprint.[citation needed]

[edit] Visual Basic .NET 2003

Visual Basic .NET 2003 was released with version 1.1 of the .NET Framework. New features included support for the .NET Compact Framework and a better VB upgrade wizard. Improvements were also made to the performance and reliability of the .NET IDE (particularly the background compiler) and runtime.

In addition, Visual Basic .NET 2003 was also available in the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic Edition (VS03AE). VS03AE is distributed to a certain number of scholars from each country for free.

[edit] Visual Basic 2005

Visual Basic 2005 is the next iteration of Visual Basic .NET, Microsoft having decided to drop the .NET portion of the title.

Answer 3

The only available version of the two is VB.NET 2005. This version of VB.NET uses .NET framework 2.0.

The previous version of VB is referred to as VB.NET 2003 and it targets .NET framework 1.0 & 1.1.

Answer 4

vb express 2005 is much more efficient that vb.net 2005, as it has a more user-friendly interface and programming language.
