----------------------------------------------------------- From: Kishor Message 7 in Discussion Top 10 reasons 1. Solves the most pressing issues around Windows-based application deployment: New XCOPY deployment enables developers to install a Windows-based application simply by copying files to a directory. With Visual Basic .NET and new auto-download deployment, Windows-based applications can be installed and executed simply by pointing a Web browser to a URL. 2. Delivers the feature most requested by Visual Basic developers: 'Fewer bugs in the code' � that's the most-wanted feature for Visual Basic developers. Features in the new Visual Studio .NET IDE, such as the real-time background compiler and the task list, update developers on coding errors even as they occur, enabling quick and effective error resolution. Enhancements to the Visual Basic language, such as strict type checking and structured exception handling, enable developers to write code that is more robust, maintainable, and less prone to run-time errors. 3. The most productive tool for constructing powerful Microsoft Windows-based applications: The new Windows Forms Designer enables developers to get their desktop applications to market in less time. New features include: Control anchoring and docking to eliminate the need for complex resize code The in-place menu editor to deliver WYSIWYG menu creation, and The tab order editor to provide rapid application development (RAD) organization of controls. 4. Provides with both ADO and new XML-based ADO.NET data access programming model: With ADO.NET, developers gain access to more powerful components, such as the DataSet control and a new, strongly typed programming model that provides Microsoft IntelliSense statement completion within data access code. 5. Brings RAD to component development: Developers can use non-visual toolbox and server explorer components to easily incorporate resources such as message queues, event logs, and performance counters into their applications without writing a single line of code. 6. Unprecedented flexibility in building customized user controls: Developers can easily extend preexisting user controls and Windows Forms controls as well as design their own controls that generate custom user interfaces. 7. Complete, direct access to the Microsoft .NET Framework: Visual Basic developers can quickly access the registry, event log, performance counters, and file system. Visual Basic .NET also eliminates the need for declares statements for access to the operating system. In addition, the new Windows service project template enables rapid application development of real Microsoft Windows NT Services. 8. The power of Crystal Reports directly within the IDE: Crystal Reports delivers the most productive, integrated, and RAD experience for creating highly graphical and interactive relational data reports. These reports can be generated for the entire array of Visual Basic .NET application types, including Windows, Web and mobile applications. 9. Visual Basic for the Web: Using new Web Forms, you can easily build true thin-client Web-based applications that intelligently render on any browser and on any platform. Web Forms deliver the RAD programming experience of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 forms with the full power of Visual Basic .NET (rather than limited scripting capacity). The new HTML designer delivers IntelliSense statement completion for HTML tags and the separation of user interface and code enable more efficient team-based development. 10. Allows developers to leverage their existing investments in code and skills: Windows Forms provides a robust container for Microsoft ActiveX controls. COM Interoperability provides bi-directional communication between existing Visual Basic applications and those written with Visual Basic .NET. The upgrade wizard enables developers to seamlessly migrate up to 95 percent of existing code to Visual Basic .NET.
