Forget vb version 6 -- its obsolete because vb.net replaced it.

No I can't. They aren't related, other than being .net. AFAIK asp.net is used to build web servers, the other two are used to build application programs.

ASP.NET is a technology for dynamic web pages (similar to PHP etc...)
The actual ASP.NET code can be in either a VB.NET or a C# like syntax.

C# and VB.NET are mainly used for desktop apps though. VB.NET is very similar to vb6, whereas C# is more like Java in terms of syntax. In the end though, they all produce similar end products.

And learn VB.NET, VB6 is dead.

Yes but seeing as you have to do a vb project, it would probably be beneficial to learn vb.net..

VB6 is dead like COBOL is dead. It's not the latest and greatest, but you can make a damn good living with it. ;)
