Hi, I've been writing AD administration scripts and
general sysadmin vbscripts for a while now and have
recently started on hypertext applications to
update/replace some of these scripts.
Would it be a good move to start learning about dotnet
and how tricky would it be to move from vbs to dotnet ?
Please note: I'm not what I'd consider to be a programmer
as such - class myself as "scripter" :) - i.e. haven't
worked *much* with VB full versions...
ta,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I think it is not a good idea to go to the VB.full versions, it will throw
all you have done in a new direction and cost you a lot of time.
But you can have a look at this.

The most in it is using dotnet in a kind of scripting way.
I hope this did help

Steve,
The answer to this question lies within you. What I'm getting at
is why you asked the question in the first place?. Is it because you think
it might be cool to learn and might earn you some bucks ?
VB.NET is a good way to get into .NET if you have some idea of VB type
syntax. Although it is a completely different thing to what youve been
working with. You can buy the Microsoft VISUAL BASIC .NET 2003 edition
which will also give you VB.NET standard to load on your PC, this will cost
you about £100 or so, but its good value.

There is no .NET "scripting" support available directly in the
Framework, but Holger Schwichtenberg wrote the DSH:<http://www.dotnetframe work.de/scripting/dotnetscripting/dsh.en.asp>

You will have to learn new programming paradigms (object oriented
programming) and become familiar with the .NET class library. It's a
big step.

You will have to learn a lot, but it will make fun.

The mention of more bucks is obviously appealing but
there doesn't seem to be any more bucks in programming as
opposed to the AD work that I'm doing.
The reason for asking was just to see if I should look
into dotnet as the same way I looked into vbscript a
couple of years back to replace the DOS batch files I was
writing for admin tasks.
Don't want to be left behind too much...
thanks for the answers,
Steve
