    I want to discuss about VB 6 But that forum is not available. In Visual Basic Forum there are many VB .NET Discuss. How can I ask for VB 6?

      You can try the Visual Basic forum, but TBH most people will advice you to either migrate to VB.Net or just sell your soul to Satan; the rest will see no difference between the two choices.

        Just because most threads in the VB forum are VB.NET doesn't mean it is limited to VB.NET, it just means very few people discuss VB6. Ask your VB6 question, but be sure to include 'VB6' in the title.

            Dead as COBOL or FORTRAN, it is an ossified language no longer supported. You may as well talk about ALGOL or PASCAL. Pull its mummified corpse from your mind and move on.

              There is a time machine, 2nd floor, last door on the left. Don't push the lever too far, or you'll end up having to write in COBOL.

                We still have COBOL and FORTRAN and VB6 programs to maintain. It's sometimes more painfull then going to the dentist (like you and me).

                The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

                      After that, probably COBOL will come out. It's the most relyable business related software out of the 3, at least here. :laugh: (We use it since the late 60's, I wasn't born yet)

                        Do you want to see some live COBOL? just come to us. Oh, I think it's in the so called "forbidden city", very special room. (See response to DDs post above)

                          COBOL is not completely dead. I can attest that because if I look over my PC monitor I can see tons of people writing COBOL code. It has been a quite good working area down here in Brazil...

                              Exactly, in our case it's official name is "the bunker". Remember WW2?

                                      No worries :-) yeah it is a little bit calmer. Now the government and "associated crew" are trying to fix things up because they finally realized we were fed up. Honestly I never thought I would see such thing in my lifetime...

                                          Well, we have actually two rooms like that. One in the IT production site (10 kilometers from here, the development site, all basically on Virtual Machines) and one in the Main Building Down Town as backup. It's a medium sized private swiss bank and better to have backup of data (in case it gets stolen..)

                                          The signature is in building process.. Please wait...
