but can you tell me wether vb 2005 express edition use vb or vb.net

Answer 1

VB 2005 is the latest edition of VB.NET and it uses .NET framework 2.0.

Usually when people say VB.NET they are talking about VB.NET 2003 which uses framework 1.1

Visual Basic 6.0 is the last version of VB that doesn't target .NET framework.

Visual Basic 6.0 is different from VB.NET (both 2003 & 2005).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

VB (a.k.a VB6 version 6) was the last major release before dot net.

The current VB2005(expressed edition included) is version 8
(VB2003 being ver 7)

There are major fundamental changes in the dot net world. I would learn the newest version and not really bother learning the old.
