    Question

    Hi, Is it possible to write a program in Visual Basic 6 that can later be transfered to a IC (Integrated Circuit/Microchip) or do you need to write the program in a special purpose language?

    Thanks in advance!!!

    I think anything dealing w. actual Chips and hardware is dealt w. by assembler language. ( Machine code )
    I do not think vb can be integrated to do that.

    VB6 creates windows applications (with forms), so i don't think so. i know some PIM's allow for vbapps (have the run-times pre-loaded, and the WinCE does (a special add-on is nessecary)). But there is the BasicStamp MicroProccesser. It uses a Basic variation language to program with. It should be fairly close in syntax.

    Thumbs up

    Rammandeep, For you case, VB is not design for that. 'coz it for the processor that running Window OS.

    As for the Microchip micro controller, the best high level programming tool is C or C++. Yet it very depands on the chip itself whether support the C/C++ compiler or not.
    Try to get some information from the PICs Microchip website

    For WinCE, you can install the program written in Visual Basic. But you need to include all the VB runtime DLL together with your destribution package file.

    Cheers!
