I download a couple of controls that look VERY interesting--but they are for
VB6.
When I look through MSVS's help, all I can find on the subject tells that
their is a compatiblity library and what it's purpose is. But can't seem to
find anything on HOW to access it.
Any ideas?
TIA
If you have used previous versions of Visual Basic, you will notice that
Visual Basic .NET introduces several changes to the Visual Basic language
and that some familiar functions have seemingly disappeared. These changes
were necessary in order to make Visual Basic compliant with the .NET
Platform and the common language specification (CLS).
When a Visual Basic 6.0 application is upgraded to Visual Basic .NET, the
conversion of some code is impossible due to syntactical or architectural
differences. For this reason, functions in the Visual Basic 6.0
Compatibility library (Microsoft.Visu alBasic.Compati bility) are used to
allow the code to run in Visual Basic .NET without the need for extensive
modification. These functions mimic Visual Basic 6.0 behavior while
remaining compliant with the common language specification.
Caution Functions in the Visual Basic 6.0 Compatibility library are
provided only for use by the upgrading tools. Although it is possible to use
this library when writing new code, there is no guarantee that it will be
supported in future versions of Visual Basic.

I was able to find a walk-through for upgrading VB6 app to VB.Net. BUT--it
requires VB6 be installed on my PC.
UGH! If I had VB6, I wouldn't need to upgrade!

If you don't have VB6, you won't have projects to upgrade. ;-) Kidding
only, I know you have the source from somewhere else.
I think some minimum requirements must be met to be able to upgrade a
project. I'm not sure whether VB6 really needs to be installed, but I think
that projects are obviously not upgradable if referenced COM-libraries are
missing.
Concerning the compatibility library: Has it really not been installed if
VB6 was not installed at the time you installed VB/VS.NET? In the "add
reference" dialog, there is no "Microsoft Visual Basic .NET compatibility
runtime"?

I do have the runtime and design time references and all the source code. I
just don't have a compiled version--which if I DID have, I assume (HOPE) I
would be able to include as a reference somehow.

It should have been my first question: Did you try to upgrade the project?
What happened? What failed?

Hi All,
The company I work for has traditionally used COM/ActiveX for the
solutions that it provides. We are in the process of moving to .NET and
a few applications have been written in VB.NET up to this point.
Some of the applications are class libraries which need to be callable
via the COM interface from some of the older applications. Could
someone please explain to me the issues involved in deploying such a
class library?

Hi,
I would like to call one of my functions the exact name as an existing
C library function (for example K&R2 exercises asks me to make an atof
