Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you
may get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which
has dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for
newsgroups with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.
