VB6 ?
VB6 ?
(OP)
I have been asked to develop a fairly complex desktop database application. The application will not require any interaction with the WWW. I will likely use a Microsoft Access database. I have a number of years experience with C and VB6 software development.
What are the disadvantages of developing this new application in VB6 as opposed to VB.net or C# ?

RE: VB6 ?
When you say complex, do you mean front end or backend? If the backend database requirements are likely to be complex, consider using MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) details and downloads from :

VB6 will handle most levels of complexity for your front end.

The application will have some involved calculations but I can handle this easily with VB6. The Access DB will basically store numbers, not much else. The target audience will all be running MS Windows operating systems.
I guess my problem is this: Why spend the time to learn VB.Net or C#. I can do it, no problem, but will I get a better application?
