I'm working on porting some classic VB6 code to C# and just stumbled across a usage of the PV function.I feels wrong including a reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic Assembly. Is this something that is commonly done, or should I explore further options. The next idea that pops into my mind is exploring this PV function in Reflector.

View 5 RepliesI'm working on some legacy VB5/VB6 code and need to convert a ".bas" file to vb.net. i found several options
Compile the .bas file into a com dll and then reference and use it in my project. (For this I guess I would need vb5 or vb6 which I don't have at my disposal) Copy and paste the contents of the file in to a new module in vb.net and then try solving the errors one by one.The contents of the .bas file reference a particular dll. The .bas file has mostly declarations consts, types, sub's and functions.
What would be the most elegant way of redoing this in vb.net. Is it as simple as option 2.EDIT
I used VS2008 express and ran the code through the upgrade wizard it did the necessary conversion. and the .bas file was converted to .vb. I took that file and decided to rewrite other parts of the code, including some redoing of the converted .vb file. Other questions related to this one are here.
We are looking to port our existing classic ASP application to .NET, but we're unsure of what language to use for the new app. I personally would 'prefer' C#, as I'm more familiar and comfortable with that languages way of doing things, but, the original code is VBScript, so it would possibly be easier to port to VB.NET ... One possible situation I fear would be that, because the code is so similar between the two variants of VB, that we might end up getting stuck on something that is not similar between the two, even though it looks like it would work. A shift to a wholly different language might avoid that kind of situation. Does anyone have any practical examples of this kind of situation? Insights to illuminate the issue with? Do the potential benefits of a complete paradigm shift outweigh the gains from a high degree of 'copy-and-paste-ability' ?
View 9 RepliesI am porting a vb6 application to VB.net. One of the key forms has a large msflexgrid on it - about a 1000 columns and 50 rows. It has 2 header rows - the first header row has merged cells to form a main header and the second row has sub headings. There is no requirement for any data entry and it's unbound. The code does the work in deciding what to display (if anything) in each cell. It is solely used to display data in the form of a character and a coloured background and to display a tooltip text with more information when you mouse over it. Works beautifully in vb6. I'm trying to decide whether to:
a) use the vb6 msflexgrid in the .net version
b) use the datagridview - which at a first glance seems to have a problem merging the cells on the header row
c) build my own custom control to do the job
I've got a VB 6 application that I ported over to VS 2005. The application has a toolbar on it. When building it in VB 6, I created all the bitmaps for the toolbar. And they looked just fine.Now I have ported to VS 2005. The toolbar works just fine. But the images in the toolbar look "wrong". The best way to describe them is if you took each bitmap and squeezed it down to about 67% of it's size. So it is missing the detail it used to have. And the smalleer picture still takes up the same amount of space on the toolbar. It is just that each squeezed bitmap now looks like it has a thick, blank pictureframe around it.

Please don't answer SQL Server! - this needs to be an app that end users can install easily in corporate or non-corporate environments, and must not require any ongoing technical maintenance. I started to install SQL Express, but stopped when it required at least 2 system updates, as that will be far too complex for this little app.

If I have a project that I built in 2005 can I also work on it in 2008 and vice versa? What are the main differences from each version Also I deployed a project and it installs on the user computer with the name I installed VB 2005 with, not the name I use in project set up?? Is this common how can i change that without having to uninstall VB and reinstall with new name? Or is it picking that name up from somewhere else in my project?

View 7 RepliesI have a book from a friend called "Teach Yourself Visual Basic in 21 Days" and so far what I have read has been very nice and easy to look at as well as understand. It also seems like it will do what it says it will do. One problem is it was published in 2006 so it uses VB Studios 2005. There is a rather large difference between 2005 and the new 2008 Express edition and I see the new 2010 beta so I wondered: "light from above, is it worth looking for the 2005 edition of Visual Basic Studios Express Edition or should I rather just look for another book and start working with this 2008 edition? I really fancy this book on the 2005 edition but seeing as it doesn't even have the XP window styles in the figures it might be a little outdated and this new 2010 edition might blow away 2008! I am so confused. Should I throw out the old and go with the new, or should I work with 2008 until IT'S time is up? Is it worth it in this new economy and fast paced evolving career opportunity?" Well, I didn't get a response form the great Computer Techie in The Sky, so I am asking you... What should I do? I understand that it might be better to learn with this new 2008 edition but even still I would imagine their are some 2005 based programs out there people use that might need updating. As a beginning programmer I don't know where to go.
View 3 RepliesI do have a application created by VB.net 2005 and the version is 1.0.0.70.
I'd like to migrate the application to VB.Net 2008 in order to use the chart function which 2005 does not have.
This is what I am going to do.
1. Open Visual Studio 2008 for Visual Basic
2. Open a file for the application
3. It will try to backup current file and convert to 2008 from 2005.
4. The project version is still 1.0.0.70.
Can I deploy this project from 1.0.0.71 on same folder that I used with 2005 or Shoud I deployee as a new project as 1.0.0.1 on different location?
I am using vb.net 2008 and sql 2005. I am writing a program to translate data from one database to another. Basically I have two dataGridViews, the original data is automatically populated to the first and on clicking the "Translate" button the second dataGridView is filled with the translated information. I am having trouble with the syntax of passing a value from the original dataGridView to SQL and returning the 'id' of the translated data table. For instance, the original has colors stored as "Blue" "Green" etc The new tables now have unique ID's with the color name as attributes. I need to basically be able to pass dgvOriginal.rows(i).cells("color").value to a stored procedure and get the "id" field of that color. Here is what I have so far.

how to do this in vb and have any sample code?
