Hey everyone.
I at one time installed Visual Basic 2005 express, and found it very useful.
While it's great having all this stuff here at my fingertips, it's no use that I can't use the vb6 files my school has on it's systems. My question is: Can I have VB6 and 2005 at the same time? or is there some program that I can use that converts converts it back and fourth?
I'm not too sure where this type of question goes, but here it is.
Yes you can use both at the same time, the reason you can not use your vb6 code in the 2005 version is beacause they are different. Visual Basic 2005 is based around the .NET Framework whereas Visual Basic 6 isn't.
Visual Basic 2005 should have a conversion feature on it that can convert some of your vb6 code to visual basic.net code.
Hope this helps,

Yes, it has a conversion tools, but quite poor, as i heard. The best way to move your app from 6 to .NET and vice-versa is simply by writing theme all over. That way you can get the best of theme.
Welcome to VBF, btw :wave:
Microsoft sometime back released a InterOp toolkit that helps you do the incremental upgradation of your VB 6 projects. Take a look this link
