>My boss gave me the dreaded "Can we make this program web-enabled?". Of course he is only asking for this since it seems to be the new buzz word. I have fairly solid VB experience and what to start developing my applications for our Intranet and possibly Internet. The only problem is I don't know where to start! I have found pockets of information all over MSDN and how to's on creating simple applications. But is this all VB can do with web apps? How much in the way of features are lost when proceeding with different types of web apps (web classes, DHMTL, etc.)? Anyone who can point me in the right direction will be in my good books from now till my last croak on my death bed.

Hummm, where have you been for the last 2-3 years ? :-)
More seriously, the Web development in VB is not very different. You have to remember a few things:
Everything is stateless
You can have hundreds of requests at the same time
If you can make business objects (DLL) in VB, you can call them in the ASP pages. Don't use those Web classes or DHTML projects. They are useless and, you can't migrate them to VB.Net.
