As a pro VB6/SQL server developer I recently downloaded VB2010 and bought Alessandro Del Sole's VB 2010 unleashed book.
The book details all the new functions / methods such as string.contains etc. Having practiced a little I discover that VB 2010 still has reference to VB6 functions such as Instr() (which by the way seems to give a different result from "string.contains")
My question is should we be using the new 2010 methods / functions or is it still OK to use the V 6 equivalents such as Instr instead of contains? Will the functions such as Instr() and Right() etc. be deprecated and if so, is there a time frame for doing
so.
Thanks
