VB6
targets the COM infrastructure: a way to communicate with reusable
components in Windows. VB6 is simple to use because it contains many
powerful functions and features in a runtime library that must be
shipped with the programs you compile in VB6. You can create Window
applications or reusable ActiveX libraries with VB6. You can either
compile VB6 code to native code or to an interpreted P-Code.
VB.NET
is the next generation of VB. It targets the .NET Runtime and
Framework. The .NET Runtime manages the execution of the program and
memory, and the .NET Framework represents reusable components, but
incorporates a much broader set of Windows features than the VB6
runtime. Additionally, .NET allows you to have a framework that is
usable by many languages, including C#, C++, and Ruby, etc. VB.NET gives
you a number of new project choices, including ASP.NET web sites, WPF
applications, and console applications, and Windows services (VB Express
just supplies the following project types: Windows Form application,
Console, WPF application, Class library and WPF Browser application).
VB.NET compiles the code to IL, an intermediate byte code used by the
.NET Runtime, but .NET will execute this code in native format by
running it through a Just-In-Time compiler (it is never run in an
interpreted mode).
