Is there a way to convert VB forms to VC?

[Marc Reinig]

I have a program written in Visual Studio 2003 Visual Basic. I would like
to move it to Visual C++. Is there an automated or relatively automated way
of doing that, or do I need to recreate all the windows by hand?

Thanks in advance,

Marco

Thanks for the response.

This seems to convert to from VB to C#, which I have never used. What is
the relation between C# and C++?

Thanks again,

Marco

c# is older version
c++ is better than c# but faster than c#.
better use vc.net

/Why?/

 

[Marc Reinig]

I have code written in VB.NET and Code written in C. I need to consilidate
the projects into individual projects. I would like to have a project that
is relatively self contained rather than part written in VB and part written
in C (DLL's). Some of the C code also needs to be used in other OS's that
don't support VB.

If the code is well-structured then you can use it directly from Managed
C++.

What is the problem?

what is really the most annoying thing on usenet??? people complaining about
how someone else tries to help! top post, bottom post, interleaved post,
all are great as long as they contribute to the thread.

now of course i should write that the most really annoying thing is people
complaining about people complaining... but i'll leave that to your
imagination.

Are you saying that in a single project, I can intermingle C++ and VB using
managed code? I've never dealt with that feature.

Unfortunately Marc, I cannot provide an answer to your question, but ...

Troll, go away.

Pot ... meet kettle ...

I couldn't resist.

You can use Managed C++ classes from VB.NET, and vice versa; I think
you're well aware of that and simply trolling.

Then you should not be posting.

When you can't resist the urge of namecalling it usually means you have
low self-esteem. Sometimes there are other reasons, typically also of a
personal nature. On what grounds are you calling me "pot" or "kettle"?

My last post was not top posted. Seems to me you're an obsessive compulsive
on the topic and are more interested in being the local style police and
calling people trolls than in providing help. If you don't like my posting
style, don't respond.

Hi Marco,

We can use the VB.NET code in VC++.NET(managed code).
In fact, after the .NET code has been compiled(whatever VB,NET C#.NET and
so on), they will be compiled into MSIL code which is kind of Assembly
language based on .NET framework, in this level whether it is written with
VB,NET C# or else is not important as long as they are managed code.

But unmanaged code(e.g. pure C++) can not access to the managed code
directly, we need expose the mananged code as a COM Server, so that the
unmanaged code can access it as COM. But we still need .NET framework
support to run the manged code as a COM server.

Older version? What are you talking about?

C# is a managed language like VB.NET. It has all the features of VB.NET and
a couple of extras (VB.NET will probably get those extra features next
version around).

C++ on the other hand is an unmanaged language (but there is a C++ Managed
version too) which you to write native code from VS.NET.

VB.NET, C#.NET, etc all the .NET languages compile to an intermediatary
language for the .NET runtime... so theoretically writing for C++ should be
faster and often is.

The drawback? C++ is more difficult to write for and you need to becareful
in regards to garbage collection, memory access, etc, because all of these
features are no handled by C++ and you must do it yourself.

But managed C++ only runs on Windows doesn't it? What happens if he wants
to compile for Linux or Solaris?

Can't you use the DECLARE FUNCTION command in VB to tap into Windows DLLs?
While not as nice as a COM server, wouldn't this save you some time?
