Error converting VB 6 APP to VB.NET APP

[Meher Malakapalli]

Hi,

I have converted a VB 6 App to VB.NET App but when I try to run the
application in the VB.NET IDE I get the following compile error.

'ScaleTop' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'
'ScaleLeft' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'.
'ScaleLeft' is not a member of 'HPCheck.frmReportViewer'.

Does any one know how to get rid of this error?. I was wondering what is the
work around to address this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Armin. Actually there is a upgrade comment. Here it is

'UPGRADE_ISSUE: PictureBox property picMain.ScaleTop was not upgraded. Click
for more:
'ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword="vbup2064"'

The line of code I have is

lvwBatch.Top = VB6.TwipsToPixelsY(picMain.ScaleTop)

and

lvwBatch.Left = VB6.TwipsToPixelsX(picMain.ScaleLeft)

What is the best way to rewrite this code?.

I think it is
lvwBatch.Top = picMain.ScaleTop
but I'm not sure because it depends on the circumstances, e.g. whether the
ScaleTop property has been set to a user defined value. I think the best is
to have a look at what the VB6 code does and redesign it in VB.NET.
