Vista privlidges and VB6

[Mr. Arnold]

Since you're obviously referring to non-Microsoft products (since the
Microsoft "Upgrade" Wizard is truly a piece of crap), what exactly do you
suggest? I certainly haven't heard of anything worth mentioning, but I
admit, I'm not up-to-speed on the latest converters available. Perhaps
there's something that's actually worthwhile now...?

I think you're going to have to post to a VB.NET NG and ask what's being
used, because I have seen them being used by people.

I talked to one person that was using one converting a VB 6 application that
was a company solution to VB.NET. He was having a problem with SQL server
access that the code generated, but he figured it out and didn't seem to be
having any other problems with the converter.

Doing a quick search with Google, I did see 3rd party tools for this other
than MS. You'll just have to investigate I guess.

I am not bothering to read it.

You just read it!

 

[Mr. Arnold]

You just read it!

You're sharp as a thumb tack.

Keyboards can be dismantled and washed. I had a spooked cat intersect with
a mug of coffee at high velocity, spilling it all over my keyboard, where it
seeped right down into the plastic sheets behind the contacts, onto the
circuitry, etc. That's the same keyboard I'm typing with now, about two
years after the incident.

I am not going to bother with you, because you're a *boy*. Only a *boy*
would have made the post that you made in the manner in which you made the
post. I don't want to see your lip service.

The only thing you can do for me *boy* is strap on your Pamper, saddle up
your cockroach and ride out.

<Plank> that's a soft logical plonk.

Bwaaaaahaaahaaa!!!

Yep. I've done it too.
Back when I lived in an apartment, the one over me flooded ( burst washing
machine hose )
My computer which was on, and keyboard ( I wasn't home ) just happened to be
right under a light fixture in the ceiling,
which "funneled" the water right onto the keyboard.
Took it apart and went at it with a blow drier to get it nice and warm and
then just let it set for a couple of days.
Worked like a charm.
However, when I restarted the machine there were all kinds of files and
folders with weird names that only Bill the Cat could possibly pronounce.
Took me a while to clean it up.

Oh my God, its a flame dancer's bwaaaaahaaahaaa, how sad.

I disagree but that's your problem not mine, because I see people using
the solutions to make the transition easier.

It's obvious you have no business being a programmer. It's why you're
stuck in the position you're at and don't have the common sense to do
what's needed.

Your clients should firer you and get someone else, because you can't
deliver. <g>

Oh man there goes another keyboard.
I've got to learn to not read these while I'm sipping a beer.

Kewl... Snagged one of them oogly vistatrolls I've heard <snicker>'s about...

Tag! You're "it!"

If you don't know how to plonk somebody just say so; there's no shame in
ignorance if you are willing to learn.

It almost looks like a random phrase generator given the lack of sense. I
wonder if it could pass a Turing test.

 

[Mr. Arnold]

Why did you bother to post? You must know what your status is with me.
You're just a wannabe *flame* dancer. That's all you're about no more or no
less.

 

[Mr. Arnold]

Get on your cockroach and ride out.

 

[Bob Butler]

Why did you bother to post? You must know what your status is with me.

And my "status with you" is of concern to me, or anybody, why?

The hands-down winner of the random phrase generator is Yahoo's Abuse site.
I frequently received responses which made no sense at all compared to my
report, and with repeated follow-ups, they became less and less sensical.
Not one of them had anything to do with my report to them in the first
place, leading me to believe that their entire Abuse Department is a 'bot.

You should make sure you wipe Bob's behind, wash his behind and you
brush your teeth, before you pucker-up and kiss that behind the next time.

 

[Robert Morley]

Hahaha...the best part for me was the line that said "In fact, a Florida
company called Seal Shield makes keyboards that are 'dishwasher safe.' It
says so right on the box."

I was, of course, talking about removing every key, every screw, every
everything that could possibly be dismantled and washing the parts
appropriately (plastics get dumped in hot soapy water, everything else gets
wiped down with a damp or completely dry cloth), then waiting overnight and
re-assembling, using paper towel to get any last remaining droplets of water
that were stuck in the keys. About the only problem with this is if you
don't have appropriate lubricants handy to reapply to some of the
force-distribution bars they put under the larger keys like the space
bar...those sometimes tend to stick a bit when you depress them after being
washed. (But this is easily fixed by going out and buying something to
lubricate them with, of course.)
