vb6?

vb6 - vb.net is built in... File -> Open -> Convert
its not great but oh well....

 

[techmanbd]

and if I am correct, converting from VB6 to VB.net programs can only be done in the STudio edition and not the standard edition

 

[PlausiblyDamp]

Too be honest the upgrade wizard isnt worth the time and effort it takes to run, search these forums and you will find very few people with anything good to say about it.

My suggestion is learn .NET and do it properly yourself without using any upgrade wizards. Nothing good will come from any upgrader.

 

[rifter1818]

True the Converter isnt much good

But it was the answer to his question. I too dont like the converted. Project 1000 lines created 300 Errors, thats almost 1 in 3 lines!

 

[Robby]

Even if it had zero errors, the code that the wizard generates is plain crap and does not adhere to .NET concepts and methods.

rifter1818, i had started to shifted from vb6.0 to .dot two weeks ago.

my way on learning is by writing a new program using .net. solve problem one by one. When u are confuse on how certain things are done in .net, you could try this way:

do a simple program in vb6.0,
save it, and open it with studio.net.
convert it, then find the way out.

maybe this is not a good way, but, it make senses.

Unless you are one of the (minority of?) VBOld developers who code using all the OOP principles that are available in VB6, I would say you should forget conversion - start over learning the .Net way. Youll have to do it in the end if you want decent .Net apps
