I'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.
I'm migrating VB code to VB.Net and I can not figure out why my files are not copying to there new folder. Here is the old VB code below:
Public Sub FileTransferDoneImage(ByVal FilePath As String) OnlyFileName = GetFileName 'Get only filename OnlyPath = GetPathOnly(FilePath) 'Getting only the path
[code]....
The message box shows the correct path/file, but the files are not copying?
how to enumerate the used file-numbers [as in FileOpen(filenum, ...)] in Visual Basic .NET 3.5 (VS2008)?
The situation is: I'm doing "a quick port" (just to bring it up a supported architecture) of an old VB6 WinForms application (it's "just a tool" really, not a full-on app) to VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008's automatic translator, over the .NET 3.5 framework. The existing code stores "records" in parallel arrays, the index of which is the output-file-number, and output-files are opened and closed "ad hoc"... so I can't "just" use FreeFile (I could, but it'd basically be a rewrite, which we won't get paid for).
After translating I've got an "invalid filename or number" error upon FileOpen'ing filenum=350 for Ouput... I know the filename is valid, and doesn't already exist. I tried (just for debugging) setting filenum=FreeFile and that worked (i.e. the file was opened)... so I figure that filenum=350 is already open, but how to tell BY WHAT? A listing of the used filenums -> names would give a huge leg-up.I suspect this just isn't possible, but I've got to ask anyway, because it was save ever-so-much time, effort, and thought if it is possible, so here we are.
I am doing data migration two database in MS SQL 2005. The records are more than 200000 nearly 300000. I need to query from source database using joins and insert 2 or 3 tables in destination databse. Which way is the best way to do so? I am trying to write a program with VB.NET. If you have sample,
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.
Possible Duplicate: Porting VB.NET Winforms Application to C# .Is there any way to convert a vb.net winforms application into c# ? In terms of both code and .vb (forms) files.
I've been wondering about this for a while, but is there actually any free way to port VB.net apps to OS X and Linux? I've searched the web for this and couldn't find anything much.
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' ?
I 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.
I developed an application using VB .NET on a Windows OS. If I want to enable this application for a client who uses Linux , how do I do so? Do they need to purchase VB .NET? I am totally lost on how this works.
I am trying to decode yEnc data using the component found here:[URL]...It all converts fine, except for Line 173 of Decoder.cs which contains the c# keyword "unchecked".Without using unchecked I get an OverflowException.What is the correct way to implement this in VB?
I created an application for Windows XP, now it needs to run on Windows 7. I have had some issues to resolve, but rather small ones. I am now stumped on this one... Here is my code block
vb.net Private Shared Sub RenameFileAfterDownload(ByVal File As String) Try
[code]....
The code works perfectly for Windows XP, but the ftpRequest does not work in Windows 7 for renaming. That said, the code runs that entire sub becaues WriteToEventLog get's written, but seems to ignore the ftpRequest lines.
I need to update (well, rewrite really) a SMALL VB6 application which uses ADO to access a JET database, to a vb.net app in Visual Studio 2008. My research suggests that I should use LINQ, but it doesn't seem to be possible to connect to JET. If JET is now deprecated, what should I use? Or should I use ADO.NET without LINQ?
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.
I make loads of programs in visual basic, but it happens that my friends that want to try some, have Windows XP or Vista, when I have Windows 7 on the computer where i create them.I tried to launch the application compiled on 7 on their PCs but it just doesn't work. Is there any way to port programs from Windows 7 to other version of Windows? Or just to find a way to make them run?
I've been asigned to a new project. I have to mantain an application wich was made in Visual Studio 2003 (VB.NET, Framework 1.1) and Crystal Reports wich came included with the IDE. The application is absolutely what we call "legacy code" :).Just to make the test, today I've tried to convert the application in Visual Studio 2010. The converter is offering me download SAP Crystal Reports, with no cost and no registration.The question is: Does anybody has experience with this components?. Is feasible to migrate an application as described to VS 2010?
I am porting Excel VBA to VB.NET. I have a function that takes a selection of data, and it may be one dimensional or two. VBA code is quite fluid about using a variable as either a 1-D or 2-D array, but VB.NET marks it as an error.
Here is the reduced code: Public Function Stat(ByVal Data As Range) As Object Dim Y() As Object
I am working on a VB to C#.Net migration project. Has anyone used a tool called CSharpener to convert VB.Net code to C#? What is your experience with this tool? How much code does this tool migrate & how much is the rework?

I have been tasked to convert out VB6 program to VB.NET. In my research online everyone seems to say I need to go through my code and get rid of any Variants I have. I have had pretty good luck so far, but I am having an issue in replacing this one.
[code]...
I am still pretty new to VB (either 6 or .net) and I am having a hard time finding an alternative for this. Will the convert tool in VB.net handle this just fine? Or do I need to change this? If I do, is there a better alternative for this? Forgive my noobness.
