Migrating from VS 6.0 to VS 2008 gives error

[VikrantS]

Hi,
I am migrating code from VS 6.0 to VS2008. The Code compiles in VS 6.0 but gives the following errors when compiled in VS 2008,
---
\Program Files\VC\atlmfc\include\afxcmn.inl(376) : error C2065: 'TVM_GETLINECOLOR' : undeclared identifier
E:\Program Files\VC\atlmfc\include\afxcmn.inl(378) : error C2065: 'TVM_SETLINECOLOR' : undeclared identifier

I looked up "TVM_GETLINECOLOR" and apparently it is a message that gets the current line color of an unmanaged TreeView...the version of TreeView control that VB6 uses. The unmanaged version of the TreeView control is completely different from the .NET managed version of the TreeView control.

Not everything is going to be correctly converted to VB.NET when migrating from VB6. You are going to have to make make modifications to the code produced by the migration to make sure that that the things that couldn't be migrated are fixed.

In this case I'd say that you're probably going to have to take a look at the code that was managing the TreeView and modify it so that the properties of the .NET TreeView Control... for example in this case you would have to change the TVM_GETLINECOLOR to the TreeView.LineColor Property.

I am curious why the new visual studio is even looking at a .ini file for code?

Hmm I didn't notice the extension earlier...
It's actually not an .ini file...it's a .inl extension (what is that??)

The errors mentioned above are not from the MFC code of the project,instead they are generated from some files i.e.afxcmn.inl, afxcmn1.inl, afxcmn2.inl . Maybe these files contain inline functions for common controls .
Since the error shows Undeclared identifier, the project maybe missing some header files to be included, in which these constants are declared.
