ASP Free On Consuming CF Web Services In VB

ASP.Net 2.0 is free. I haven’t given that a try yet… but don’t you think that with a free IDE and a free platform that people will port the code over?
Then again, it cost quite a bit to port legacy code over… and some may want to update old code. I would be interested in hearing how many people actually want to connect the old VB code to a ColdFusion web service. (Or for that matter… is there any difference in hooking up to ColdFusion web services than say ASP web services? It does seem a bit odd that they would focus on CF for this topic rather than generic web services.)
Looking forward to replies. -
Why (in 2006) would anyone still be creating new (legacy) applications in VB6 and why promote the use of it? The .net framework is free, Sharp Develop is a free .net IDE and there are tons of free information online to get you going. Talk about not wanting to keep up with the technology.

i have to agree with Brandon.
if you have a post category called ‘Legacy’, this would be the place to use it.
maybe it’s a case of newer-better-drool on my part, but if i had to go back to VB6 for real work, i’d be considering a new line of work. ant really, how many years has the .net framework been around? -
Yep, was wondering who’d point that out first! 🙂
I’m also wondering why the author chose to consume a CF web service, as opposed to, say, a .NET one.
