Upgrade vb6 to .net? which one to install?

[Schmidt]

I also had to change to VB.net at the end of last year because vb6 didn't support MYSQL on my 64bit system.

For the archives (just trying to fight "myths in the making") - VB6 has no problems with a MySql-64Bit-ServerInstallation
(on a 64Bit OS), when this 32Bit-Application (the VB6-IDE, or your own compiled VB6-executables) use the proper 32-Bit-ClientDll-Layer.

In our case the queue goes like this:

32Bit-Process -> 32Bit ADO-COM-libs -> 32Bit MySQL ODBC-driver-libs -> ... socket-based-transferchannel ... -> 64Bit MySQL-Server-Installation.

Or in case you use a MySQL-OleDB-Driver, then you can exchange the part with "32Bit MySQL ODBC-driver-libs" above.
