I am somewhat confused about presence of two seemingly identical VB.NET functions: CType(args) and Convert.ToType(args). I'm fairly new to .NET and VB in general, so I'm not quite sure whether one of them is a VB6 legacy or they actually have different purposes / uses / limitations. Is one of the them newer / safer? Are there reasons to use one but not the other?

Cheers! = )
