What is the difference between vbscript and vb.net?

+3  A: 

Except for sharing some syntax and keywords, they're quite different languages. VBscript is a very light weight language usually used for short scripts while VB.Net is usually used to create full desktop or web applications.

You could try searching for java vs javascript and many of those pages will describe differences between a scripting language and a normal programming language, javascript is similar to vbscript and java is similar to vb.net.

+1  A: 

VBScript is a scripting language that is used mainly for doing small automated jobs.

The most powerful Windows technology is the .NET Framework. Visual Basic has been modified to be a true object-oriented language when working with the .NET Framework and that syntax is called VB.NET.
