App.HelpFile question

[Yoavo]

Hi,
I have a VB6 project which had the line:
App.HelpFile = "c:\MyFolder"
I made a convert to VB.Net, and this line wont compile. ("Name App is not
declared")

Can someone help ?

Yoav.

Yoavo,

(which version are you using now)

At least you should have to know what application from class is, somewhere
should probably have to be

(Whatever) App as New TheClassToBeUsed

App.HelpFile = "c:\MyFolder"

I hope this helps to start with

what app for type (class) is

Sorry, the line should be:
App.HelpFile = "c:\MyFolder\MyFile.chm"

(loading a .chm file)

Yes,

However what is App?

Cor,

App is the VB6 object similar to Application class in .net
In vb6, you could write app.path - this wil return you the path of the
executable

Also, app.helpfile will associate a help file with the application
