[RESOLVED] VB6 to eVB

[yolandre]

Hi all!

I developed an app in VB6 for customer registration and now want to start using the app on my PDA. After giving it a go using VB.Net 2005 (with which I am not familiar at all) I reverted to eVB and was amazed to find that 90% of the app runs absolutely perfectly on Windows Mobile 5. My problem resides with the remaining 10%... class modules.

Is there a way I can incorporate the existing class modules in eVB?

Thanks in advance!

Incorporate it from VB6 to evb or from VS2005?
I don't think the second one will work. You must rewrite your code. But i strongly suggest using VS and not evb.

Hi all!
Thanks to Sepator for replying, much appreciated! PeteVick replied to a similar post in DevBuzz and it seems that I have no other option than to start getting familiar with VB.Net.
I managed to get the majority of the transition working perfectly, but eventually ran into the smaller jackals who tend to bite the hardest. After spending 6 hours tracing a bug with an array declaration decided to see how quickly the same can be accomplished using VB.Net.
Considering that it was the first time I used VB.Net I managed to get 90% of the app converted within 60 minutes! Very, very impressive VB.Net!
My humble advice to all others who might find themselves in a similar position: If possible avoid eVB and rather use VB.Net!
Thanks to all of those who peeked at the post and to those who replied!
