Upgrade?I have VB.Net 2003...and I've never really used it...still using VB6.
However...I need to migrate...at least I think I do. Should I be upgrading to a newer version of VB.net? And what should I be upgrading to? Thanks for your help... Arne Beruldsen wrote:

VB6 (both the run-time /and/ the IDE) will run on Vista (at least that's what Our Friends in Redmond tell us). VB'2003 is now a minus-one product, VB'2005 is the current version but "upgrading" from VB "Proper" to either of these is as close to a total rewrite as makes no odds. Yes, there are upgrading tools, but the code they generate is nothing like the code that you'd write from scratch using the newer language. HTH, Phill W. Phill W. wrote:

Do you mean that Microsoft did not design Vista to run

vs2003 from there. Great Solution huh? (Loads of sarcasm implied) :-) Thanks,Seth Rowe Dennis wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Are you serious???

6.0. I firmly believe that in the very near future, there will be a framework and Vs.net 2003 and Vs.net 2005 will run on Linux and backward compatibility will probably be maintained in future Linux upgrades at least for a reasonable period of time. However, if one wants to shell out 1500 dlrs or so to upgrarde to Vista and vs.net 2005 then welcome to it. -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "gene kelley" wrote: > On Thu, 16 Nov 2006 16:11:02 -0800, Dennis <Den***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > >Who needs Vista anyway! > > Well, 5 years ago, the phrase was "Who needs XP!". 15 or so years ago, it was, "Who > needs Windows!".
