How to tell vb or vb.net?
How do you tell if it is vb or vb.net?'
I was given an vb app to take a look.
So I was thinking it was vb application but it looks like someone opened it in the vs2010 and converted it.
The VS2010 doesn't have the vb to vb.net converter, VS2008 does.
It looks like it is used the framework 2.0 and don't see the .frm file you see in the vb6.
I see importing visualbasic line.
What else can I check to see if it is still in vb or vb.net?

@JamesBurger: I don't really disagree with what you said but I want to point out that while your "If you have .frm and .bas files, you are in classic VB" statement is true, but you don't have to have either in a VB6 project.
Right, it was not stated properly and completely. If you have either .vbp, .frm, .bas or .cls in the directory, you are in a VB6 application. It could also have a .asp (but not .aspx) it if it a web application.
JamesBurger, no one said all of the above HAVE TO be there, I just listed those as some signs that should help determine whether the author is dealing with VB or VB.NET
I wonder, when people will evolve enough to give their own answers instead of critsizing answers given by others...

I am sorry if I hurted you, this was not my intention.
Programming requires rigor. People who ask questions here are often beginners who need precise answers otherwise they can end up all mixed up in their programming work and environment. When some informations can be misleading, I think that it is important to make them aware of those little details that can make things confusing.

It is in VB.NET.
It looks like it got converted from VB to VB.NET using VS2010 or something.
