Can VS2010 Upgrade VB6 Projects Like VS2005
Dec 19, 2009
I am running Windows 7 eval. copy and have been for months. It's great. I saw that the Beta on Visual Studios 2010 and decided to make the jump from Visual Studios 6. I watched all the MS videos on upgrading from VBP to Net and downloaded all of the upgrade programs and advisors. The programs I need to migrate require only minor changes. The video shows Visual Studios 2005 upgrading a VB6 Project because the upgrade wizard intercepts the open and upgrades the file. There are several problems:
1. It appears the VS2010 and VB2010 do not have this capability
2. Running Windows 7, VS2005 and the Associated framework will not load correctly
3.VB2005 does not load correctly
4.The upgrade msi will not load because the specified framework version is not loaded. Apparently it does not recognize Framework 4.
5. So I cannot migrate my VB6 programs to NET using VS/VB 2010. My only solution is to build up another system with XP and do the migration on that system.
So my basic question is do I have to build another system or is there something I am missing about VS2010? Does it have the capability to migrate VB6 programs like VS2005?

I have a big application which is really working succesfully written in VB.Net version 2005 I am wanting to upgrade this to VS2008/2010 early next year. All versions used would be the fully paid for versions
I am totally clueless about what this upgrade would entail. I cannot afford to re-write the entire application as it is critical to our business.Can I take my code across without too much hassle? And then slowly "re-write" the code to take full use of the new features. Would i need to attend some sort of "new features" course? Or is the accompanying documentation good enough to get by.

I have a vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed.This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application.Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict.

Say I have a Framework 4.0 project that is referencing a class library targeting 3.5. The project will simply not build. It won't give me any valid error message it will just act as though the reference does not exist.
Projects that were working like this in Visual Studio 2008 are no longer working in 2010. Took me forever to figure out what there error is. If I remove the project reference and add it back the intellisense lights up and you can tell a variable referenced in the class library is found. But as soon as you build the project everything is lost. My using statements get underlined, references to the variable all turn grey and project fails to build saying the class cannot be found. Once I make the class library 4.0 as well everything builds. I get the same issue between 4.0 client profile and 4.0 as well.

if the toolbox in visual studio 2010 can be used inside a winforms project? (importing dll).Actually I'm using a splitcontainer that can be resized but id does not look very well because the menu is in the left side and the user needs more screen space, so I though in a visual studio toolbox-like?

I live in the UK and I want to buy the standard edition cheaply. I've seen an OEM version on eBay which the seller claims to be the full version. But it's only one a single disk and it states "Disk 1" so presumably it isn't the complete application.

I have set references to Excel in my VS2005 .net project but the XIRR function is not available in the worksheetfunctions. In Excel it is necessary to add the Analysis Toolpak to the Add-ins. Do you have to do a similar thing in VB.net?

I have a menu where I click on a cmd button to call stand-alone diagnostic pplications.The first two applications that I have, I put in their own folders, and have no problem calling and running those apps. The one I recently installed, is in its own folder also, but when I click on the button to call the app, it starts, then comes up with an "Cannot find file" error

I'm currently using VS2008 and 2010 for various projects but now I need to test something with VB2005.Anyone know a link where I can get VB or VS2005 Express edition - It's free software but just can't find it on MS's site anymore and all the ones I find elsewhere on the web are full of malware.

I have compiled my application using vs2005 and put the exe and dlls on a network drive. The users running windows 7 that don't have write access to the folder cannot run the program. The users on XP can run the program even without write access to the folder. The admins with write access to the folder can run it on both XP and windows 7. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it other than giving the user write access to the folder.

I am in the process of switching from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005. I have been unable to figure out if there is a way to replicate the "docked" Find search box like in Visual Studio 2003 which I have uploaded as an attachment or you can view it at the following link: url...It looks like in VS 2005 you always need to launch the Find dialog: url...I don't really like having to launch the Find dialog whenever I want to search for some text. Does anyone know if there is a way to mimic the docked search box?

I need to read data from an Excel workbook in my VB2005 application. I've add a reference to the Microsoft Excel 11.0 object (as I'm using Excel 2003). However, I got the following error when I build the project:
"Warning 1: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Excel' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases. (follow by the path of the project)"

I have some code that was written in C# and am attempting to convert it to VB.Net, for the most part things have gone well but I am running into an issue that I am not sure how to handle. The project has several classes and a few namespaces defined. The issue is [or seems to be] related to the namespace usage.
In the C# code of one class I have
Code:
namespace GdiPlusLib
In another class I have
Code:
using GdiPlusLib;
When translated to VB I have in the first class above
Code:
Namespace GdiPlusLib
and the following in the other class from above.
Code:
Imports GdiPlusLib
I get the following warning message on the imports line
Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'GdiPlusLib' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases. There is another instance with a different namespace that gives the same warning and I get 11 errors all of which would seem to be related to the two warnings.

VB.NET: Can the .EXE built by VS2005 be deployed as a standalone EXE?When I change the mode in VS2005 to "Release" and build the solution, the binRelease directory then contains the solution .EXE file, but also a .pdb, vshost.exe and .xml file. What are these extra files and are they necessary?
I copied the .exe file to another machine and it executed properly, but there was a significant delay when it first executed - thereafter it was like any other program. What is the reason for this, Is it because the other 3 files in the Release folder are not there with it?
