hey where can i get Visual basic 6.0 not the new .net version off the internet???
other then places like ebay. and you have to like pay for them ? but u get the proper version is there a place n microsoft or wherE?

This link to M$ "Visual Basic 6.0 SP5: Run-Time Redistribution Pack (vbrun60sp5.exe)".

If that is what you are looking for...

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

hey is that some free one? and is it the exact Visual basic 6.0 ?

Microsoft and "free" do not go in the same sentence.
I found VB6 on amazon from $199-$629.
You might find it cheaper with a google search since .NET is out now.

hey raw thanks is there anywhere i can download like of the internet ? like from microsoft it dosent matter if its not free

No sir..if you download it it is not a valid source.
The only downloadable version is below:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vbasic/default.aspx
It's a trial version...so you can't save executables,but you can program
the night away.
Oh and be sure to see the readme file:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/readme/

is that visual basic 6.0 or .net?

VB Express 2005 It requires the .NET framework to be installed so
im guessing .NET

kk thx do u think i should download that and test that out before i go and buy visual basic .net? for 99 pounds? also is 6.0 better than .net of visual basic? wat is ur opionion??

That download is strictly for evaluation.
I personally use VB6 when i want to write a Winodws program
and have no intention of upgrading.
I was given the Visual Studio Enterprise Edition from a friend
who won it at some computer thing and he's not a programmer.
I'm sure there's a lot more functionality in the new version, but i'll stick with what i have.

The first language I learned when I started programming was VB6, which was mainly because my father got it for me (ahh, the benefits of being a Microsoft employee ). I've never used .NET and don't really plan on it - I personally like 6 and am pretty closeminded to the topic

Well i guess that's my programming ambitions gone down the swany.

Yea sorta the same for me its stupid how they all cost so much isnt it :l

I noticed you are not keen on ebay. I bought the deluxe learning edition of VB6 on ebay for an extremely reasonable amount. If you keep at it, you will find a good version at a good price.
