    Up grade to VB.Net

    For ppl who have VB.Net
    I currently have VB6.0 and I am trying to upgrade to VB.Net, would I be able to use VB6.0 as well or once I do the upgrade I won't be able to use anything but VB.Net
    Does it upgrade it or it will launch a new installation separately than VB6.0?
    Thank you

    no upgrade path from vb6 to vb.net . Its installation will be in another folder both considered as seperate versions .no integration between them .

    But, depending on what version you buy, it does come with a VB6 to VB.NET program converter.

    Thanx pirate
    I thought that VB6 will be upgraded but then I said that doesn't make any sense cuz what if you want to debug or code an older vb project.
    Thank you

    Lightbulb Conversion

    I've tried to convert some of my vb6.0 projects, but no luck.. alot of the stuff I've made with vb6.0 can't be directly converted into .NET..

    Better to rewrite the code to use correcto objects.

    I'don't know but I've converted a lot of VB6 Projs to VB.NET
    (80 %).It's working fine .Some won't be converted .
    just a thought !

    Post convert

    Yeah, some code are converted fine, but I use alot of API calls, and some API calls are supported in the framework. As soon as I start using the framework I get alot of code, some with API calls and some with the .NET framework. it starts to be a mess really.

    just a thought
