Ok, but it might be the right group for my purpose anyway, since I am
used to Visual Basic 4. Didn't use .Net yet.

So maybe you know what I could do with Visual Basic 4 knowledge
nowadays. Is .Net similar? Does this include Visual Basic?
I'm confused now where to start, since there are so many different names
and products.

Actually there were three main features for using VB and I didn't find
them many other programming language:
- Just draw the buttons and text fields. No need to care about
complicated graphics and button press events
- Pressing F5 and see how my programm will run
- stopping it and using the direct window for checking variables etc.

If I could develop some Metro app with something that works similar,
that would be great.
