Is it possible to upgrade vb6 code snippets in vb 2008 Express?
I get "The System cannot find the file specified" even though I have
installed all available options.

Yes i think you have to open the vb6.vbp from vb 2008 express and the
conversion will be done (if possible).

Something has changed between vb2005 and vb2008. If you open a vb6
project file in vb2005 a conversion wizard starts up and guides you
through it.

If you do the same in vb2008 it just opens the project file as a page of
text.
VB2005 also had the option of converting pieces of code from the tools menu.

I suppose they think if you haven't converted it by now it's too late.
The help file also refers to using vb2005 to upgrade old code, but
doesn't mention vb2008.

My next question. Can you still download vb2005 and does it run
alongside vb2008 or do I have to uninstall and start again?

The upgrade wizard should also work in VB 2008. Even the Express version
has it. Must be an installation issue on your machine.

Sorry to tell you, there is no such thing as "upgrading VB code" to any
flavour of .NET. You have to rewrite it...unless of course you consider
"todo" lines upgrading...whi ch is Microspeak for "rewrite".

Enjoy!

I'm happy enough with the ToDo lines here and there, the hyperlinks
point me directly to the section of MSDN that teaches me how to do the
same in VB.net. Much simpler that typing word into the Help search box.

And it saves me redesigning the interface, menus etc. which the upgrade
wizard does a great job on.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
