Symbols ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ? ? ?

 

What and where and how do I load SYMBOLS.

I have converted from VB6(Beautiful program) To VB.NEt(Piece of crap) and it is telling me to load SYMBOLS, Please tell me what they are and how to load

I don't want any smart answers

If it seems easy to you its only because you've done it before.

Please Help

What are the error messages and associated lines of code that you're getting errors on?

 

Keep in mind that the Upgrade Wizard will only handle very simple VB6 code. Even relatively simple tasks it will not know how to convert OR (even worse, possibly), convert in a "non standard" way. In general, it might be a good way to prototype a conversion on a small scale, but any large projects are best converted by hand or not converted at all.

Hi Nersus

 

I think you have helped me before, thanks a lot, any way it seems that the wizard does'nt work, , my project is huge and I don't think I could be bothered to rewrite the whole lot, is .net that different, I am sick. I love VB6 why should it be so difficult, are you using .net a lot, is it worth the effort to re-learn and re-write, i am very confused and dispondant.

Can you offer any advice, pros and cons of vb6 versus .net, I just dont think I could begin to re-learn a whole new environment.

Cheers

and thanks a lot

Confused

 

Wow, this is only a section of code after the wizard, these are all objects on my form, do I have to do this, set this string for every object, I cant believe that is the case, I thougt this was a new generation language, this seems to have gone back twenty years, where are all the librarys and dll's gone, I don't think I can be this kind of programmer, please tell me this is not NORMAL

Yep, that is normal but the designer manages all that. So don't worry about it. It is the Initialization of the objects on your form including the form itself.
