What are the most significant changes between VBScript and Visual Basic .NET?
In ASP.NET, the server-side code for generating the HTML for your web application may be written in Visual Basic .NET instead of VBScript. This is a major improvement. Visual Basic .NET is a robust programming language instead of a lightweight scripting tool. The most significant advantage is that Visual Basic is a strongly typed language where VBScript handles all variables as Variant types. Visual Basic .NET offers a wide range of improvements over VBScript including exception handling, reusable components from the .NET Framework, and the added performance benefit of compiled code.
