I was just wondering if there is any programs that convert VB6 projects to VB2005, It got an error when I tried to convert it using VB2005.
Is there another way I can convert this.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I didnt know where it would go.
Cheers!
Nope. There is a conversion wizard in 2003 but its very buggy and MS even states that its not more then 95% accurate or complete.
The only option is to rewite your apps in 05.
O, and 95% means to MS that a project that was developed in 100 days (including aquasition interface design solving problems documenting etc...) can be converted in 5 days rewriting code after using the wizzard and assuming an average experience with converting vb6.0 apps to .net!
No, it means that it can convert on average up to 95% of a projects code while the rest will not convert. The remaining wil need to be manually written yet the project as a whole will be slower, use more resources, and you wont get the learning factor like when you actually write code.
And, I would challenge the 95% part. I've yet to see anything remotely sophisticated get that much converted into usable code.Quote:

plus if you want to utilize the new OOP capabilities you will have to re write it.
Plus you will learn lots while re-writing the code and will be able to take full advantage of .NET Framework Class Libraries. :thumb:
