new vb.net classes in .net 3.0

[Guest]

I tried VB.NET 2005. When the .net framework is updated, does it add new
classes to vb.net? In other words, does .net 3.0 (or whatever the current
version is) add new classes to vb.net that one can use in vb.net 2005?

Thank you.

Yes, .NET 3.0 is an extension of .NET 2.0 that introduces some new libraries
containing classes (WPF, for example).

New classes are added, but not neccessarially to VB .NET (as VB .NET is a
language and it is not updated in v 3.0), the new classes are added to the
..NET Framework and available to any .NET language.

yep. And VB 9.0 is ready for .net 3.5 with new grammars.

Oh, boy. Here we go again! Didn't Microsoft make changes when it went from
vb 2003 to vb 2005? And now they're doing it again!

What is "WPF"?

Yes, but the changes didn't retire any code only added new items, so you
shouldn't have to worry about code breaking.

..NET 3.0 contains new class libraries for 3 major new initiatives:

WPF - Windows Presentation Foundation (A new XAML-based way of building
front-ends that are application-type agnostic)
WCF - Windows Communication Foundation (A new way of establishing remote
object instantiation/manipulation that will sit on top of remoting and web
services and streamline those processes).
WF - Windows Workflow Foundation (A new type of project that helps
developers build applications using workflows for better architecture).
