    Converting VB5 project to VB.NET 2003

    Hi!

    I'm new to VB .NET version 2003.

    I have a VB5 project and tried to open it with VB.NET. It failed to convert, saying that it couldn't find a design time license for component CommonDialog.

    I have installed everything for .NET including all of MSDN.

    Is there a work-arond?

    You could try removing the CommonDialog component from the VB5 project. There are other replacements for that in .NET, like the SaveFileDialog, OpenFileDialog, etc...

    Is this commondialog component registered on your system??

    That's a big leap, I think you should consider rewriting the application from scratch instead of relying on the frowned-upon, buggy, patchy converter.

    If it was I probably wouldn't be having this problem. And, if I had VB5 installed on my system, I wouldn't have spent the $$$ for VB.NET!

    The converter gave up to quickly, in my opinion. There might be other components it gripes about.
