Converting VB6 functions to equivalent .NET

[DesperateDan]

I'm a VB6 developer being dragged into the .NET world.

I want to know if there's a definitive site that tells you what the
equivalent .NET function is to replace the VB6 function.

(I notice in this group alone there are dozens of people asking for the
equivalnet .NET function for a specific VB6 function).

Keep in mind that most of the VB6 methods are in VB.NET also (part of the
Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace).

A little more than half of the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace methods have
direct equivalents in .NET (download our Clear VB demo to see the kinds of
things in VB.NET that have direct equivalents).

Desperate Dan,

Almost all VB6 functions have an equivalent in .Net with the same semantics,
most go one to one, a few are replaced.

In top of your IDE is normally in the tools menu a VB6 converter to VBNet.

By the way, where did you find those dozens who ask this in this newsgroup,
I see them seldom anymore.

There is a newsgroup special for upgrade maybe are you confusing that one
however I thought that it was not so active anymore.

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade

I hope this helps,

Cor

Ok. I was wondering if there are significant differences between VB.NET
2003 and 2005. We are just beginning to venture into .NET programming
and we are wondering how far to go before getting 2005.

Thanks.

Brian.
