VB 6 code in Visual Studio 2005
[158 byte] By [yonestar] at [2007-11-20 11:21:45] 
I have some VB6 code, but i dont have the VB6 IDE/liscense. However, I do have Visual Studio 2005 (.NET). Can I use VS 2005 to compile and run the VB6 code?

Well the Wizard will attempt to do it automatically. I've seen it work on 3 my apps that had basic tasks. It won't use the Net way to do things, but it will support the VB6 namespace, and commands. Somethings get changed to the Net way, though.dglienna at 2007-11-9 19:33:29 >

so, the code does need to get upgrade to VB .NET - you can't work with original VB6 code in Visual Studio 2005? any thoughts on generally how rough the upgrade process is?
thank you!

Just open it. The wizard will ask you a few questions, and it may or may not run. Depending on how many errors, you can decide if it's easier to rewrite, or repair.dglienna at 2007-11-9 19:35:34 >
