For a pc you might use an "Open" statement to create a file. If you select a ppc project in vb2005 though, it simply no longer recognizes "open" as a usable statement. It uses things like "System.IO.file... etc." these appear to be the commands in lieu of normal statements like "open and close."
Therein lies my problem.

Well, the main problem you're going to have here is you're simply going to need to learn how the .Net framework operates, that's all. Yes, it's an uphill learning curve but I think you'll figure it out. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you're used to simple constructs like "Open myfile for output as #1". I definitely feel your pain there.
However, even with .Net you can minimize the complexity, you just need to dig a little. Vs2005's IDE sure does make writing PPC code easier. emVB was "OK" but since you were really writing vbscript (in a VB6 IDE) half the functionality simply did not work. The IDE would let you write & compile the code but you had to run it on the device (or emuulator) before you could even find out.
