Hi Robin,

Then this would be correct in decending order

VB 2005
VB .NET 2003
VB .NET 2002
VB 6.0
VB 5.0
VB 3.0

Thank you

I would not say it this way, there are as well versions for VBS and VBA,
when you clearly ask "VB" that are in my opinion real VB language versions
which are probably used by the most "VB" programmers.

I hope this helps,

The versons for VB are (in decending order)

Visual Basic 2005
Visual Basic (.NET) 2003
Visual Basic (.NET) 2002

VB 6.0
VB 5.0
VB 4.0
VB 3.0

I would still suggest (even now) that a distinction needs to be made
between VB 6 (the last version of VB "Proper") and the "grown-up",
fully Object oriented, etc., etc., etc. versions of "Visual Basic".

Thank you for not simply calling them VB 7, VB 7.1 and VB 8. ;-)

Regards,
Phill W.

Thank you for not simply calling them VB 7, VB 7.1 and VB 8. ;-)

Visual Basic 7.0, Visual Basic 7.1, and Visual Basic 8.0 are the names of
the programming language, Visual Basic .NET 2002, Visual Basic .NET 2003,
and Visual Basic 2005 are the product names.

Hi Herfried,

Again a distinction between language and product name ;-)

Just curious, was there any difference between VB 7.0 and VB 7.1? I know
that the .NET Frameworks have some differences, and the IDEs too, but the
languages?

VB 7.1 gained the left shift and right shift operators,
Dim i As Integer
i = i << 2 ' shift left 2 bit positions
i = i >> 2 ' shift right 2 bit positions

VB 7.1 also gained defining the type inline on the For & For Each
statements.

For Each item As Object In collection
...
Next

For index As Integer = 0 to 10
...
Next

For details on the above 2 items see:

For the plethora of additions to VB 8.0 see:

Hope this helps

In .net 2003 i can do:

for i as integer = 0 to 10
next

couldn't do that in 2002

kermit,
There is also VB 2.0 & VB 1.0 for Windows, both of which were 16 bit.

Also don't forget about VBA, of which I know of 2 or 3 varieties (the
original version in Excel, the a "newer" version (5.0?) in Office, then the
"latest" version (6.*?) in Office. VBA 6 & VB 6 shared the same core
language & runtime. My understanding the compiler & IDE used changes....

AccessBasic in Access 1.0 might be considered VB, however it did have the
name AccessBasic. I forget which version of Access gained VBA.

Then of course there is VBScript.

Hope this helps
Jay
