VB.Net and Java Cross Reference Guide

VB.Net

Version: This content is based on Microsoft VB.Net 2008. All content was tested using Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2008. 

This content focuses on topics in common among the languages documented here so this content most likely applies to earlier versions of VB.Net too.

In addition, some of the VB.Net syntax presented here will look similiar to MS Access/VB Classic (with notable differences) and to ASP Classic (with even more notable differences).

Java

Version: This content is based on jre1.6.0_07 and tested in Eclipse 3.3.2 and/or JBuilder 2008 (which is based on Eclipse 3.3). 

This content focuses on topics in common among the languages documented here so nearly all this syntax applies to other Java development environments as well as earlier versions of Java.

Much of Java's syntax will look similar to both C++ and C# but with significant differences.

Note: To be clear, the subject of this information is generic Java and all code snippets were tested in either Eclipse or in JBuilder by CodeGear (or both). Although much of the information applies to other Java tools, we only verified the syntax and information within Eclipse or JBuilder.
