Visual Basic 4 code import problem... - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Al Murphy

Hi,

I hope that you can help me wit this one please and apologies if
i'm in the wrong forum! I recently bought a book that contaiend a
CD-ROM of very useful Visual Basic algoritms.
Now these algoritms are written in visual basic 4 I'm having
difficulty importing the projects into Visual Studio .NET. I get an
error message stating: "The Visual Basic 6.0 project file is corrupted
or cannot be read".
Can anyone tell me what I should do to make these work. Can you
recommend any good, free visual basic 4 editors that I can downlaod
and install. Should I be aware of anything else (I'm new to the VB
universe).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice/recommendations etc...

Cheers,
Al.
The newbie.

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.

visual basic error

by: John | last post by:

I have a problem, it's not with any code I have because... there is no code. When I run a blank visual basic 6 form, it opens up just fine. When I add a text box, a caption, and a button... it gives me an error from microsoft's error report and asks me to send or not send the error, i chose and then it quits. The error report won't let me copy the data, but i gather it's pretty useless information unless you have the source code to visual...

Access or Visual Studio?

by: Jerome | last post by:

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I rather write it using Visual Studio .Net? Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in Access?` The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

Visual Studio compiles slowly, low CPU usage

by: Bruno Jouhier [MVP] | last post by:

I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon: At my Office, Visual Studio takes a very long time to compile our solution (more than 1 minute for the first project). At home, Visual Studio compiles the same solution much faster (about 10 seconds for the first project). My home computer is only marginally faster than the one I have at the office (P4 2.53 vs. P4 2.4, same amount of RAM). On the slow machine, the CPU usage is very low,...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
