Question:
What are the differences between VB2003, VB2005 and VB2008? or any others that I have missed?

The main differences in those is the Framework. 2003 could use 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. VB 2008 uses either 3.0 or 3.5. All these versions of the framework have different classes and functions available to them. Some of the differences between 1.1 and 2.0 is
  • Generics introduced in 2.0
  • 2.0 has built in (while scaled down) version of IIS
  • Master Pages were introduced in 2.0
  • The My Namespace was introduced in the 2.0 Framework


Some of the differences between 2.0 and 3.0 can be read here.

Hope that helps some smile.gif

If I can use only 3.0 or 3.5 in VB2008, why there is a combobox, in new project window, where is also 2.0 as selectable?

I have already realized that I can't do 2.0 application with VB2008, there is always something from 3.0 or 3.5.

Maybe it was just the SQL compact, but I dont think so, that was absolutely one that I couldn't get to version 2.0.

When I realized that I was making application to windows 2000 server, but before it got done I must install VB2005.

Some say a 2003, 2005 code can be used in the 2008 version but a 2008 version can not be used in previous versions. Is that true?

yes this is true, even some code of 2005 is not working in 2008 we must change it to 2008. but a little.
