Diablicolic Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I really want to switch this VB6 program to .NET. Check out the attachment image. That's the error I get when I try to open a VB 6 Project File :( Quote "Reality is fake, Dreams are for real"
Madz Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 That;s a strange error message , might be possible that after reinstalling Visual Studio this is solved. Quote The one and only Dr. Madz eee-m@il
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted August 9, 2003 Administrators Posted August 9, 2003 Probably a luck escape! The migration wizard is less than fantasic.

*Experts* mutant Posted August 9, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 9, 2003 If you are using VB.NET standard the upgrade wizard is not available to you. Quote
Diablicolic Posted August 9, 2003 Author Posted August 9, 2003 Well that suxors! Oh well, pretty soon I'll have it AHAHAHAHAHAA!! :-\ Quote "Reality is fake, Dreams are for real"
*Experts* mutant Posted August 9, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 9, 2003 The quality of code produced by the wizard is not one of the best things you will see, Im pretty sure almost everyody on this forum would not recommend using it. :) Quote
Diablicolic Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 Then what would be the best way to migrate a VB 6 project to a VB.NET project? Quote "Reality is fake, Dreams are for real"
Winston Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Then what would be the best way to migrate a VB 6 project to a VB.NET project? Port it to VB.NET Syntax :p :p the most easiest way Quote
*Experts* mutant Posted August 10, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 10, 2003 If your application is big and it works all right then there should be no reason to migrate to .NET, if your app is small and you need the .NET functionality then you could rewrite it. Quote
Diablicolic Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 Do I just look at the .bas files for the VB 6 code, and then just go from there? Quote "Reality is fake, Dreams are for real"
*Experts* mutant Posted August 10, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 10, 2003 You shouldnt have much problems porting your code to .NET, most of it should be easily portable. Yeah, just look at your code and rewrite as you go. Quote
Winston Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 it would probably be even decreased the amount of code needed to be re-written primarily because of all these new namespaces, that u can use and also the controls, for exmaple if your application had modules and functions allowing you to minimise your app to the tray and also getting the system username god that can all be eliminated and at ease now all u need to add is one control and one line of code for the username Quote
