I always wondered.. If you had a c++ client, could you build a server with vb6?

You might want to slap whoever taught you that, then. :wink:

They communicate with sockets, so as long as you are using the same socket types (TCP, UDP, etc) along with the same protocol (IPv4, IPv6, etc) then you're fine. You can run on any OS, any language, as long as that language is supported on that OS. You can have a VB6 Windows server and Java clients on Mac if you want.

Did you REALLY post that, or am I just imagining it?

To answer the first post...

As long as both applications are capable of sending data to each other, it doesn't matter what language they're in. But if you're going to write a C++ client you may as well write a C++ server too.

VB7 = VB . NET... Yes? The only time i've heard reference to VB7, it was before the release of the .NET... before it was dubbed, .NET.

I thought Microsoft didn't support Visual Basic anymore, only VB.net
