Is the syntax for VBScript and VB.NET exactly the same?
Specifically, would a syntax parser for VB.NET work for VBScript?

1Downvoter please comment, and also @Jean-FrançoisCorbett, There's actually no way to try all possibilities.Pacerier– Pacerier2014-09-16 09:08:08 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2014 at 9:08

1Why try all possibilities? It just takes one counterexample to show that they are not exactly the same.Jean-François Corbett– Jean-François Corbett2014-09-16 09:15:33 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2014 at 9:15

1@Jean-FrançoisCorbett, That comment's a tiar. And besides, that's the point of the question. To see if there's such a counterexample.Pacerier– Pacerier2014-09-18 23:20:35 +00:00Commented Sep 18, 2014 at 23:20

No, they are not the same.
vb.net is a jit-compiled strongly typed object oriented language that runs on the .net framework; vbscript is interpreted. Syntax is different in many subtle ways, mostly relating to scoping and the keywords necessary for vb.net to support true object oriented concepts that vbscript just doesn't have.

No, the syntax for VBScript is very similar to pre-.NET Visual Basic (i.e., VB6). VB.NET is completely different. But even compared to VB6, VBScript is still watered down.
