to recompile VB code with .NET SDK

[vgv888]

How can I recompile ActiveX dll from VisualBasic6 code
with Visual Studio.NET?
Can I mix VB6 sources with C#.NET?

I don't think you can do that easily... however, .NET can use ActiveX dlls
via Interops, so you don't need to recompile.

Can I mix VB6 sources with C#.NET?

There have been changes in VB6 syntax and .NET, so you can't just
recompile. You'll have to make some changes (significant?).

The problem is that I do not have VB6, just now.
I shall have a project for transition SAP to ASPX (C#.NET).
So what, I should use Visual Studio6 with Visual
Studio.NET, I cannot reuse any code?
Can it be done with Rational Rose?
I have Rational Rose Enterprise Edition Demo, it has
VC++6.0, VB6, J2EE, JSP templates but does not have .NET.
I also got Rational Rose XDE Demo but could not quite get
if I can use simultaneously both (I am shifting from JSP
experience and am a little bit lost)

Although VB.NET and VB6 share the same lineage, VB.NET and VB6 are totally
different beasts. There is no way to easily convert the code to .NET.

If you don't have V6 you're basically out of luck. Rewriting the code is
probably more effort than it's worth.
