I think there is a converter included with Visual Studio.NET
Could you tell me where that could be found/accesed?
The converter wizard is junk. Learn .NET then re-write your app. or leave it in VB6.
well the thing is, i bought a book and i was kind of in a hurry so i just made sure it was in vb but then i found out it was vb6, so are you sure that the wizard stinks?
You can try it out for yourself:
Launch VS.Net
Open your old VB6 Solution file and the upgrade wizard will automatically start.
And yes, the upgrade wizard SUCKS big time. It tries, but fails on anything but trivial code, plus it produces some pretty nasty looking code when it does work.
It says that it is not availible in this edition
you need the professional edition, not the basic edition, so that means shelling out some cash for the VS.NET version... shady Microsoft people...
Yes, I have a VB6 app and ran it through the upgrade wizard, half the code it crapped out on(ADODB) and the other half it said I didn't know how to program(ok, that part is true)
Here is an example of some of the crap it produces on some simple code and chokes!
PHP Code:
Dim varExamDate As Object
// UPGRADE_WARNING: Couldn't resolve default property of object varExamDate. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword="vbup1037"'
Heh, wow thats odd. Ok thanks for your help (if you know about servers give me a pm =))
what do you need to know about servers? I could make your head spin about them :)
