    I see...in order to view the correct tools menu you must have a code file open...
    will not see it if you are viewing a designer....

    David Roberts:

    Yes there is a diff between the editor, manager, and upgrader...and we have pointed you to everything but the upgrader...I have taken a look and I am using the pro edition and the Snippets Upgrader Tool(not to be confused with the VB6 Upgrade Wizard, which is used to upgrade entire projects) is a menu option off the tools menu and is NOT listed as an add-in...I have searched the MS site to no avail...I believe that what you are seeking is acually a feature (MS calls it a Tool) of the PRO edition and not an Add-in that can be downloaded...Sad



  • fripper

    Do you mean the snippet editior or the snippet upgrader - they are different I think, and I want the snippet upgrader (paste in VB6 code and have it magically transformed into fully work VB.NET code - in my dreams)

    Actually that isn't quite correct - look on the Tools menu for Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code to launch the tool. Type or paste your VB 6 code snippet and click "Upgrade" and the revised code will be pasted into the editor.

    It isn't included in the Express edition, though Sad

    Dman1 is correct - the "Upgrade Visual Basic 6 Code" command is only available if you have a VB code file open. On further inspection, it IS in the Express edition as well.

    You can find it on the Got Dot Net Workspaces! or through the msdn site.

    I dont think its in the beta 2 version Pro version.  Could it have been added in the latest non-beta (tech preview) version.

    Is that version worth having   and is it pretty well as robust as the beta (or better ) 



  • evans

    David -

    I'm looking at the latest build, but the code upgrade tool should be there in the Beta 2 build as well. As noted by Dman1, you must have a code file open to see the command. Have you tried that

    shoagMSFT, what version of VS.NET 2005 do you have that it appears in - its not on my beta 2 versionSad

  • Beetlebum

  • Srichris

    You are correct ...It is not in the 05 edition...only O3

    As far as the 05 beta 2  is concerned you can get:

    Team System
    Pro
    Standard
    Express

    And as far as I'm concerned 05 Pro is Awesome!!!



  • PDFpilot

    This is the snippet editor - not the same as the snippet upgrader addin I'm afraid
