from VB 2005 _BACK_ to Vb6?

[susiedba]

hey guys... I was looking for some help

I've got a bunch of VB 2005 code; and I want to move it back to Vb6.

Does anyone know of any tools for doing this?
I just can't deal with a language that isn't even supported on Vista;
so I've decided to go back to Vb6 since it works out of the box.

Thanks

Susie

I haven't laughed so much in ages!! I could just imagine the extremes
that Aaron would have gone to in order to get into the "Susie" persona -
Lipstick, stockings, ladies shoes etc., and yet he calls us FAGS, GIRLS
etc!!!

I really think he has gone past his medication time!

ROFLMAO!!

There are 10 kinds of people - Those who understand Binary and those who
don't.

I agree. He probably wears women's underwear.

actually I did once, I wore my girlfriends underwear out to the bar
once, and I made the mistake of telling my friend.. and my girlfriend
was there; it was SOOOO embarrassing LoL

no but seriously

you guys are yesmen for Microsoft; it's ridiculous that you are scared
to criticize MIcrosoft

STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE

Scared to criticize them for what???? What have they done overall to be
criticized for??? Oh... that's right.... they fired you for being a
pinheaded, lazy, malcontent who thinks that expediency is more important
than following company directives. You got caught doing something against
company policy and you had to pay the price and now you have a hard-on for
the company! So I'M supposed to criticize the company for that???? Lots of
things MS does that I don't agree with. The way they treat their employees
is one, but that's not my call. I have a choice; to succumb to their 'work
ethic' or move on. I chose to move on and I'm a happier man for it.

OK, I'm on my feet, but saying what I believe about you is not printable on
this newsgroup, so I'm just gonna sit back down, pop the top on a brew and
get on with my life. Maybe YOU should do the same.

Bruce

P.S. And I do believe that Visual Basic 2005 is .Net... I do believe that
everyone that 'contributes' something useful to this newsgroup is worthy of
praise... and I believe that if you could just shut up (did I just say
that?) long enough to stop and think, then maybe you'd realize that you'd be
happier living on a beach just off the edge of the horizon where you don't
have to worry about VB6 OR VB.Net. At least you'd be out of OUR hair.

Yeah because having to compile code evry time I run a program is a
brilliant idea. I wish MS would have given us the option to compile
nativly in .Net (yes it is possible 3rd party apps allow this
functionality). Also, I hate the fact that I cannot use a progress
bar ti display somethings progress, because redrawing the damn bar
eats up 99.99 percent of me processor and kills my application. Yeah
I love MS, soooo much.

 

[susiedba]

Bruce;

because they try to convince us to move to a system that has _ZERO_
code portability?

Because they offer a 1/4 solution?

because I can't use VB.net in a SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 JOB?

Because I can't save a DTS package as a VB.net or VB 2005 .VB file?
because they didn't include edit and continue for 3 years; and instead
they invented a 'new language' that gets all the attention?

because they don't release code samples in VB anymore?

because they constantly SELL US A NEW VERSION INSTEAD OF MOTHER
****ING FIXING THE EXISTING VERSION

SERIOS-MOTHER-****ING-LY

VISUAL STUDIO CRASHES FOR ME TWO TIMES A DAY.

IT RUNS LIKE CRAP ON A 2.4 GHZ WITH 2 GB RAM.

MS _CAN_ DO BETTER BUT THEY DECIDE TO SPEND THEIR RESOURCES ON C#

AND THEY ARE GOING TO INVENT VISUAL FRED _AGAIN_ THIS NEXT VERSION

MS betrayed us all in 2002; and I for one, refuse to sit around and
let it happen again.

BE MOTHER ****ING FOREWARNED; MS DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT
PROGRAMMERS, PROGRAMMERS, PROGRAMMERS

and Steve Ballmer, and the rest of MS is C++ and Excel _FAGS_

WHAT ABOUT THE DATABASE, BITCHES?

CAN ACCESS REPORT ON OLAP YET?
WHY NOT? CAN CRYSTAL REPORTS REPORT ON ANALYSIS SERVICES?

DO THE MATH, I MEAN DUH!!!!!

 

[susiedba]

Visual Basic 2005 _RUNS_ on dotnet; but it is not called 'VB.net'

I mean; if you're too stupid to get the difference then you need to go
back to writing BATCH FILES

'more important than following company directives'?

BRIAN CYR, MY MANAGER AT MICROSOFT DIRECTED ME TO USE COM COMPONENTS
IN ORDER TO DELIVER A SOLUTION; EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A VIOLATION OF MS
POLICY.

I mother ****ing did what my boss told me to do; I could give a shit
about heresay about 'MS Company Policy'

and his impotent boss, Brett Jenkins FIRED ME WITHOUT REASON AND STOLE
MY GODDAMN LAPTOP; HE REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME OR GIVE ME A DATE
AT WHICH TIME I COULD HAVE IT BACK.

IT TOOK OVER A MONTH TO GET MY OWN PERSONAL LAPTOP BACK.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I WAS USING MY LAPTOP AS A WEBSERVER AT WORK; SIMILIAR TO WHAT
I HAVE DONE FOR MANY MANY MANY JOBS-- USE MY OWN HARDWARE UNTIL THEY
CAN ORDER A SERVER.

-Susie

 

[susiedba]

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO BE CRITICIZED?

a) create a stored procedure in query analyzer using this syntax
'create proc myproc as select name, xtype from sysobjects'

b) open the sproc in design view, using an Access Data Project (which
is literally designed for writing sprocs, and views)

c) change anything; hit save you get the error 'the parameter is
incorrect'

the moral of the story is that ALL DEVELOPERS NEED TO REFRAIN FROM
USING THE PROC ABBREVIATION IN SQL SERVER; THEY NEED TO SPELL OUT
PROCEDURE, EVEN THOUGH THIS SHORTCUT IS LISTED IN BOOKS ONLINE.

now stick that in your pipe and smoke it


at least I have the balls to stand up to a company that abuses us.

NOT FIXING BUGS AND SELLING US A NEW VERSION WITH THE SAME GODDAMN
BUGS IS _DOTNOT_ ACCEPTABLE

 

[susiedba]

and no, I don't need to worry about VB.

I've written VB for 10 years; and BASIC for close to 30 years so eat a
mother ****ing dick
