If you mean VB6 and VS 6, forget everything you know. Oh, and use a real
language like c#. :-)

Much of the wizard and drag/drop stuff is a complete waste. We do most
of our web work in source-view, jumping to design view just often enough
to make sure we're not being silly. Depending on how far you go w/events
they're quite nice. The handler for a button makes a ton of sense to me,
as that's the code that runs when the button is clicked, simple. The
code for an on-change handler for a drop-down that posts back
automatically also makes sense as I likely want to do something there
and then. Other event handlers are a complete waste, so don't use them.
You don't _have_ to use every feature. :-) I'm not even sure I know what
an object-inspector is (unless you're referring to visualizers in
debugging, but they're worth their weight in gold-pressed latinum)
