There is no Decompiler for vb5 or vb6 except if you want to decompile it into assembly.

call me crazy but, when you generate an executable, it compiles into a binary file. The compiler vb uses is nearly a copy of that of vc++ (before you try and argue this point, please research this a little and you'll see I'm right) Its not interpreted anymore, therefor you cannot backward decompile a binary file into its original source. Only into assembly.

that is an online decompiler for vb5, it does not give the source code though it just decompiles the forms and objects on the forms into a vb project or something.

looks bogus if u ask me..

hmm thats interesting, tortoise. But you still have the option in VB to compile to P-code (as opposed to native), which is still interpreted. isn't it?
native code exes can't be d/compiled though, i think.
the VB compiler isn't exactly the same as the vc++ one: it the parser is different

Check out the book "Advanced Visual Basic" by the Mandelbrot Set -I think
chapter 6 or 8 explains the compiler/linker in VB - also VBPJ did an
article
about it last year. The Online MSDN has the full text for "Advanced
Visual
Basic" so you can read it for free. C2 kicks in after compiling down to P-code so it is the same compiler.
