   Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may   
   get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has   
   dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in   
   newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups   
   with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.   
      
   For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic   
   .NET related questions...   
      
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls   
      microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data   
      
   And these for more general .NET questions   
      
      microsoft.public.dotnet.general   
      microsoft.public.vsnet.general   
      
   Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields"   
   from the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above   
   ones should get you started.
