  I know that this may sound like an awkward question, but how do I best migrate from using VB.Net to learn the basic coding-features of VB 6.0 I'm studying to become a teacher in computer science but at the school where I'm having my teacher's practice they only have VB 6.0 and not the .NET version.

But what if that other class is not mine, let's say... a system ...Show All
