    They are two different languages so you cannot simply copy and paste. You could use the upgrade wizard but you're likely to have many errors to fix anyway. Most people would advise that you simply write fresh VB.NET code that best provides the functionality that you want.

    Have you added this DLL on the References tab of the project properties?

    there's an error when adding it in reference... it says "please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component"

    this is a .dll to read a game database and that was used for vb 6.0 .... how can i convert it so that it is compatible with vb 2005???
