VB6 vs VS2005
-
I have vs2005. Someone put together a project for us in vb6, but when I try to open in vs2005, it converts, but doesnt compile and I dont really see the source code. I have projects in vc6 and those will convert to vs2005. Does vc6 exist? Is there a way of downloading it?

Does vc6 exist?Yes, Visual C 6 exists, as does Visual Basic 6. What language are your source-projects in? Is it basic or C? If you're coming from Basic, you might want to check out the interop-toolkit from Microsoft, allowing one to mix VB6 and .NET code.

Visual Studio 6 has to be bought, it's not a free product.

THe conversion process is not perfect, so it's not guaranteed to work. You should have the source available in the Solution Explorer. If it doesn't show up there, I don't know what's wrong with the project. Your best bet for converting VB6 to VB.NET is to start rewriting the project by hand. You can use converted code in the new code, but the conversion process adds a bunch of code to maintain backwards compatibility for the VB6 code. Not the best solution. The conversion is there so you don't end up rewriting the entire project from scratch all at once. You can rewrite sections at a time.
