Is Visual Basic 2012 and VB.Net the same thing?
If not, will RhinoCommon work with VB2012?
Okay, you can stop laughing now! 
Thanks,
Dan
They are the same
VB.Net is the generic name for Visual Basic. It was introduced with .Net and Visual Studio. It is one of the languages, along with Visual C++, Visual C# and some others which are included with Visual Studio. There are also free standalone versions of each of the Visual Studio languages available from Microsoft and shipped with a simplified and feature-sparse version of Visual Studio which many students and hobbyists use for (relatively) simple programs. The first .Net version came along with, I believe, ,Net 2.0 or 2.5 and was called Visual Basic 2008. Improved Basic versions came out more or less with each improved version of .Net and Visual Studio. If I recall, they were 2010, 2012, and now 2013. VB6 was the last version that compiled native code. The VB.Net versions only compile managed code using the .Net libraries (namespaces).
I can’t imagine why VB 2012 wouldn’t work with RhinoCommon, but Steve Baer or Dale Fugier will have to be the final authority on that.
Hope this wasn’t answer overkill

VB2010, VB2012, and VB2013 all work with RhinoCommon
The '.NET" part was dropped from the product title between the 2003 and 2005 releases.
Great, thanks for the clarification.
