Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic in Visual Studio

Question

Is the code used in Visual Studio for Visual Basic the same as the code for Visual Basic 6.0?

The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported, so I can't get a hold of that version, but a tutoring pupil of mine is doing work in Studio Basic 6. Will I be able to help using Visual Studio or are they different coding languages?

Answer 1

The latest version of Visual Basic is Visual Basic 15.

Visual Basic 6.0 is not supported in Visual Studio:

Visual Studio 2010 does not provide tools for upgrading applications and projects from Visual Basic 6.0. If you want to upgrade your project from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010, you can use the upgrade tools provided with earlier versions of Visual Studio and then upgrade the project again in Visual Studio 2010.
