Vb is Procedural Language or Event Based Language
vb.net is Object Oriented Language

Open a project which have one text box name as 'txtbackup' &
one command button name as 'cmdBackup'. After that, put the
following code for Back up the file which is present in that
current folder with the name sample.mdb

Dim path As String
Dim j As Integer
Dim b As String
Dim a(100) As String
Dim i As Integer

Else

Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

1. There is no doubt that VB6 is a powerful and matured
tool, but as we all know in today's world people want
something which can perform both web & desktop applications
quickly and easily. This is one of the reason why developers
have moved from VB6 to say VB.NET.

2. If you think that OOPS concepts are the mother of all
modern programming language then VB6 misses out various
important OOPS concept and hence its outdated.

3. Developers at the miscrosoft have opted to shift to
VB.NET from VB and hence it is becoming outdated.

4 VB6 is not platform independent due to VB runtime. but
VB.NET is platform independent due to Dotnet's CLR.

The fourth point is wrong because as i know VB.Net is also 
platform dependent and second thing platform dependence and 
CLR are tatolly different things.

You may say fourth point as due to CLR you can work on a 
same project in more than one language which are supported 
by DotNet platform.

>>VB.Net is also platform dependent and second thing platform dependence and CLR are tatolly different things.

I agree with you on one point that CLR is not the one which make .net platform independent. Its CIL/MSIL/IL that makes it Platform independent. This IL concept is absent in the VB6. Though there is something like p-code (portable code) but that doesn't make it platform independent. 

1) .Net framework like Mono on MAC OS make this VB.NET program executable on MAC OS X 10.5 Leopard platform!!!

2) With CIL/IL it is possible to create the machine level code depending upon the type of processor with the help of Jit compilers/Jitters. 
  
And hence because of these all reasons, i dare to say that VB.NET is platform independent and VB6 is not.

This is simple & easy to use.And i too belive vb6 is a
powerful and matured tool.Because of Lack of awareness of
vb6 most of us never used it.

excel is spread sheet like data means we can add data in
tabular like format

it is an electronic spread sheet we use for 
storing ,organizing and manipulating data

Message box is used to display some text or datas.
imagebox is used to show some pics in it

message box for display the message,image box for display 
image.

message box is used for diaplaying messages at the runtime 
and imagebox is used for displaying images.

message box is used for diaplaying messages at the runtime 
and imagebox is used for displaying images

message box is used to insert and display the text and 
data,image box is used to insert and display the images....

message box are only messages disply
image box are representing in that images

message box are only messages disply
image box are representing in that images

Message box is a function and it is used to display some
message.

And Image box is a component, which is used to display some
image.

In the event driven programming language use can directly 
interact with user interface by making use of mouse or any 
other means of controls. But in procedural prog you cannot 
interct with user interface through any of the control. you 
can only interct through codes.

Events are caused by actions the user performs. For 
example, clicking the mouse generates a mouse event, 
pressing a key on the keyboard generates a keyboard event, 
and so on. When a system event occurs, the operating system 
is responsible for identifying and responding to the event. 
Different operating systems implement this process in 
various ways. However, all operating systems respond to the 
system event by broadcasting a system event message. Any 
application running on the system can react to the system 
event by executing code written for that specific system 
event.

In procedural-driven or top-down architectures, the 
application executes a set of instructions in a specified 
sequence to perform a task. The structure and sequence of 
the program, not user actions, control the execution order 
of a procedural-driven application. The program execution 
begins in main and then flows through method calls and 
control statements in a fairly predictable manner.

In an event-driven program, the program first waits for 
events to occur, responds to those events, then returns to 
waiting for the next event. How the program responds 
depends on the code written for that specific event. The 
order in which an event-driven program executes depends on 
which events occur and on the order in which those events 
occur. While the program waits for the next event, it frees 
up CPU resources that might be used to perform other 
processing tasks.

Procedural Programming language is the language, which is
run by the some procedure or methods of that language.

Event Driven Programming language is the language, which is
run by some event of the input device. like mouse click,
mouse drag, keyboard key press, key down, etc..

Editing could be refered as the process of 
Entering/Changing Information in a client machine.
The information is explicitly available only in the client 
memory.
Updating could be refered as the process of getting the 
those changes Entered in a Database or File permanantly.

editing is the process of changing the data at the design 
time,and update is the process of changing the data at the 
runtime...

Edit means edit some of the old data.
Update means update some old data as new data.

in edit u can change or add something extra in old data at 
design time while in updation u can replace the old data as 
new once at run time...........ok

No it will not save.

no

Not saved

No it will not get saved

no

no it not saved

It will not save, it will show the last Checked In data.

standard module:

1)place for variable declarations,procedures etc.and we can 
access these procedures wherever needed in the project.

2)Available only for the existing modules where they are 
used.

class module:

1)Unlike standard module,members of class like object's 
properties,events can be accessed only whenever an instance 
of class is created.

2)We can make use of it whenever an object reference of the 
particular class is created for number of applications

Module
Code  in VB is stored in modules.
Thereare three kind of modules, Class modules, Form modules 
and Stendard modules.
In VB there are common codes we want to execute in several 
forms. We do not want to duplicate the code in all forms, 
we create a separate module containing the procedure that 
implements the common code. This separate module should be 
Standard module.

Class Module
Class modules (.CLS extension) are foundation of object 
oriented programming in VB. We can write code in class 
modules to create new objects. These new objects can 
include our own customiaed properties and methods, although 
custom objects can not have their own events.
We can also use the keyword, New to create multiple copies 
of our objects.

class module
    It is a user defined datatype.
    It have datamembers(methods and variables).
    It can be accesed by creating the instance called 
object if the class is not static. If the class is static 
then it can be acessed using classname.datamember when 
datamember is public.
    Protected datamember can be accesed only by the first 
inherited class.
    Private datamember can be accesed only inside the main 
class.
