Visual Basic 6.0 X Visual Basic 2005 ExpressHi !!!
I need to know if there is compatibility between VB 6.0 and Visual Basic 2005 Express Everything I need is to compile the VB 6.0 code in Visual Basic 2005 Express without re-write the code. So If anyone has any idea about this... Thanks for any information. Try opening VB6 project with the newer version and you will get a wizard
that will help you upgrade (based on my experience with VB.NET 2002) but there is no guarantee that it will work that's depends on the content of the program hth, Samuel Show quoteHide quote "Zardax" <za***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:ud0oRdBhGHA.1204@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi !!! > > I need to know if there is compatibility between VB 6.0 and Visual Basic > 2005 Express > > Everything I need is to compile the VB 6.0 code in Visual Basic 2005 > Express without re-write the code. > > So If anyone has any idea about this... > > Thanks for any information. > As Samuel indicates, if your program in VB6 is of any sufficient
complexity, you will more than likely have to make changes to it for it to run in the .Net world. The upgrade wizard in VB.Net can really only handle the most basic of applications. VB.Net is not really an upgrade to VB6, it is really a new language that happens to share some similar syntax with VB6.

While the Net2002 upgrading really sucks comparing with 2003. I never tried the 2005 version which should be even better. The only problem is, that you should not look at the code that is generated.

Like Herfried said.....it's not the same species. Like comparing fish and dolphins.....they look similar, but..... I would suggest a complete rewrite. It will let you learn the new language and framework better and you will be able to tweak your code using the new classes quite a bit. BTW, did you know that both xcopy deployment and no-install applications were possible with classic VB6? You could even do xcopy deployment with 3rd party DLLs using VB6 (something not always possible with VB.Net. And, no-install applications are possible with VB.Net only if you spend an additional $4,000 MINIMUM PER APP for something like Thinstall. Classic VB6 could do 'em for free.
