keep developping VS6 under VS.net

al
Hi,
I have a licence of VS.NET.
I have an application (mixed VB/C/Fortran + third party)
under VS6. I want to keep developping under Visual 6.
How can I do this under .NET. I heard about "CD master"?
What is it exactly?
Thanks,
Alexandre

I don't know what "CD master" means, but you need a copy of the VB6 compiler
(not included with .Net) in order to compile VB6 applications. .Net
components can interoperate with VB6 components, and vice versa, but if
you're creating new VB6 code, you need the VB6 compiler.

Thanks,
Then my question is How to get a VS6 compiler!
all reseller do not support VS6 any more.
I thought that CD Master was a sort of backward
compatibility..but no precise information.

Al, you need to bundle your application with the specific runtime for your
VS 6 application. For example, a VB 6.0 app needs the client to have
MSVBVM60.dll registered before the app can run. This can be freely
redistributed and if you use the Package and Deployment wizard (part of VS
6.0), it will bundle the runtime into your setup application.

Al.
Thanks, but I don't really follow you.
I was perhaps not clear:
I have only VS.NET (no VS6) and I need to keep developping
at VS6 level (I have other languages/lib that are not .net
ready), any idea

Oh, hmmmm.... You can't develop VS 6.0 apps with VS.NET. You need VS 6.0
for that.

I can only think of two options . . . the first is an MSDN Professional
subscription which will include VB6 - - as a VS.Net owner, you qualify for
upgrade pricing of $899.

The other option is the slightly questionable "used CD" market. That
includes ebay, maybe local computer trade shows where you buy new and used
stuff, half.com, etc.
