We are upgrading a VB6 project to VB.NET. I ran it though an upgrade utility (Artinsoft). I guess the question is where is the GUI. In VB6, there is a form designe and Object mode. That does not exist in vb.net correct???
It looks like during the upgrade the entire GUI, the forms, the buttons, they are all gone. None of that was upgraded. So does the entire GUI have to be recreated in asp.net or something?
I have been tasked with upgrading a large web application from .net 1.1 to 3.5. I have converted it using Visual Studio 2008, and it compiles ok. Should I be expecting everything to work correctly straight off? And if not can anyone suggest what are the major pitfalls I should be looking out for. Should I be taking the time to write and carry out a full test for the entire system, or is that overkill?

a while ago I developed an interface that shows raster maps under VB 6.0 (see, for example, slide 5 "Forest Stand Development" on [URL]
I would like to rewrite the code in VB 2008 (or download open source code) to transfer everything to VB 2008. But rather than just putting a picture control on a form as I did before under VB6, I would like to learn and adopt some new technology while continuing to use classic Windows form coding. WPF technology (see [URL] is way over my head.
I recently upgraded an application that creates several report files, that are read by an older VB6 application that i cannot upgrade. I've gotten everything working (faster than i expected) except the new FilePut. I'm saving the ubound of an array, which is a UDT, Then saving the array itself(which again, is a UDT)No matter what I do, the file is about 7 b larger, and doesnt want to read in at all in VB6. For example, I put an 32 bit integer into the file, say 4000, VB6 reads it as 3948395 or so, it seems its padding the file at the beginning or something.
And Yes, i've tried microsofts ArrayIsDynamic function, but it seems to have made no difference at all.
I have upgraded a solution with several projects inside from VS2005 to VS2010, and because of a dependency issue I updated all projects to target .NET Framework 4.0. One of the VB projects now doesn't load two of its forms. I got an error:
[Code].....
Another form loads perfectly. The DependentVBProject builds fine, and is set as a dependency for the startup project.
Before upgrading to .NET Framework 4.0, this project loaded fine, but something else that had it as a dependency did not build (because of other 4.0 dependency).
I have a piece of code like...
If FRM_LOADED(lngID)
Then
FRM_X(lngID).WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
[Code]......
and in VS 2008 the form (FRM_X ) loaded and invoked the Load method. After upgrading to VS 2010 the same code executes and displays the form but the Load method isn;t executed.
I am trying to upgrade the btrieve code written by Jim Kyle in the early 90's to VB.NET and am running into a problem with unioned structures. The old C code is as follows:
typedef struct {
union {
struct {
PGPTR PgSeq; // 00 - page number

One issue I am running into is that VB.NET doesnt like two struct variables with the same name (Usage). What am I missing to group the overlapping fields with a unique struct name as is done in the C example (v5 and v6)?

I have a vb.net app that is installed on server 2008 and registered as a remote app with approximately 70 users accessing it. There is an issue that when I put a new version of the app on the server, every user must remote desktop in and run setup.exe before the app will update to the newest version. If they try to run it without doing this step first, the app just runs the previously installed version under their login.
View 2 RepliesI am working on upgrading an old Access 2000 database to VB .NET (2010). There is one form that I am having trouble figuring out how to build so that it works similarly to the Access form. In Access, there is a header, detail and footer for this form. The objects in the detail section only need to be created once and Access will "copy" them for each record in the database and fill in the appropriate information (the form objects include buttons, textboxes, comboboxes, etc.).
How can I do this in VB .NET? Each different area that is chosen will have a different number of sections. I've thought about using a GroupBox, but I'm not sure how to make that work.

I am upgrading from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. ow I should upgrade my project.My project is in Visual Basic.Net, and using an Access 2003 Database. I have four datasets, MainDataSet (for the main data tables) LookupDataSet (for lookup tables States, Countries, Colors, etc) OneFormDataSet (data used on only one form) and ReportsDataSet (data used for reports).I have one form "OleDbAdpatForm.vb", that has all the OleDbDataAdpaters for my project. It also has the DataSets and the OleDbConnection.I have public functions that enable me to load the data tables.
I have a LoadTable function when I can pass a column and a value, and the SQL select command is updated with a WHERE or HAVING, so only the requested data is selected. I also can pass the whole "WHERE ..." part of the SQL select command, so I can have multiple parameters in the SELECT command.On my other forms, I have copies of the DataSets, so I can design grids/controls. In the form_Load events, I manually bind the controls to DataSets and tables in located "OleDbAdpatForm.vb", so all forms are using the same data tables, and changes made to data in one form are reflected in data in other forms.The VS 2008's DataSources, BindingSources and TableAdapters seem much easier to use. how I should implement the new data features in my application?
