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.

Sorry for asking again, but what do you need VB6 for? Of course, if you want
to produce code to be upgraded to VB.NET later, you need VB6 - but this you
already know for sure. So, I don't see the problem. Why not simply open the
VB6 project in VB.NET and have the upgrade wizard (try to) upgrade it?

The annoying thing about the last message is that I've read EVERY reference
to "Upgrade Wizard" that I can find in the VS.Net Help. NOWHERE does it say
anything about this lack of support--it just tells how to use it. When I
follow the instructions they provide, it get this error message.
Thanks again.

The documentation doesn't know what you bought. It only documents everything
that you can buy. You should have a look at the product description before
buying it. (maybe sounds a bit hard, but I can't express it better as I'm
not a native English speaker).
Well, there is no upgrade wizard with the standard version of VB.NET.
....
Said this, I wonder why http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/howtobuy/choosing.aspx
tells us that the wizard comes with the standard version, but it's often
stated that it doesn't!??! Version 2003 does, version 2002 doesn't? Anybody
knows?

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
function). If I don't include the header with the declaration for the
C library function (stdlib.h in this case) then define/declare my own
function with the same name, am I safe? It seems to work on my
compiler, but I wonder if this is portable or even acceptable? thx

I would like to create a static library that uses and in effect adds to
