One of the most compelling reasons for switching from VB6 to VB.NET is VB.NET's full support for object-oriented programming (OOP). However, you need to do more than learn some new keywords to take advantage of this capability. The many options you now have can be puzzling. I'll show how you can use object-oriented features in your applications. I won't explain every new feature in depth (a task this entire magazine couldn't accommodate), and I'll provide code examples that contain remarks in lieu of executable code to draw your attention to general concepts (download the examples from the VSM Web site; see the Go Online box for details). You might be unfamiliar with some words I use, so I've provided a glossary of the most common OOP terms (download the sidebar, "An Object-Oriented Glossary").
