Vb6 - Vb 2005

[dannyg]

I was planning on migrating to 2005 from vb6 I was just wondering is there a big difference in the coding and is it as user friendly?

Thanks in advance

The big difference is that .NET is Object Oriented. If you're not familiar with using classes then this will be your biggest hurdle.

I found VB.NET to be much more user friendly than VB6. The biggest disappointment was not being able to edit code whilst single-stepping through it (this may have been fixed now).

I had a really good book by Francesco Baleno when I was migrating. I can't remember the title (although I've recommended it in other posts on VB-F).

Here's the book I'm talking about. Check to see if there is a more recent edition though.

You can also use Microsoft InterOP Forms toolkit to do an incremental migration from VB 6 to VB 2005.

Also we have Edit and Continue feature in VB 2005 which was not there in VB 2003.
