VB6 to C# Conversion using VB2005 Express

VB6 to C# Conversion using VB2005 Express

• Evg

  Actually that is my last resort but I imagine if you are handling more than 800 programs and each programs may contains several forms and each form having several controls that you manually align.

  I tried to get help that helps me to give an idea on how to formulate that problem because I know I'm not the only one experiencing that conversion problem.

  Actually, I developed several tools that can modify the 800 programs that may have the same changes. So that, it is more efficient than manual.

  Thanks.

  Yes, dragging them to the right place is the way to go. Note that the fonts of your VB6 components usually change; .NET only supports TrueType fonts and the standard VB6 font "MS Sans Serif" is not TrueType. This may cause things to get a bit out of whack.

  from the forms designer manually dray the labels to the position that you wish them to be in and then anchor them accordingly

  My question is: why are you upgrading all these programs Upgrading brings absolutely nothing (very little) to the table. you are going to have to debug every single one of them (again).

  I presume the reason is to continue to improve them: I can imagine (out of necessity) upgrading one or two programs, but why don't you simply modify the programs to accept components written in C# (if that's your language of choice; C#,VB makes no difference)

  The VB6 runtime is not going away for a good few years, even on Windows Vista. Additionally, are you ultimately upgrading to version 2003 I don't understand the business decision to do so, beyond spending a load of money (actually, there is no valid business decision to do so, beyond a learning/R&D decision - like building a bicycle with a jet engine to get to the cafeteria faster - it'll save time and money).

  I'm actually quite interested to know the thinking involved in doing such a thing.

  This is the code that will solve my problem. Posted by David Anthon but I dont know how to use or where to put the code in my C#.NET 2003 program.

  Please help me on this.

  namespace My
  {
  internal partial class MyApplication: Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase
  {
  [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()]
  public MyApplication(): base(Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
  {
  this.IsSingleInstance = false;
  this.EnableVisualStyles = true;
  this.SaveMySettingsOnExit = true;
  this.ShutdownStyle = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses;
  }

  [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()]
  protected override void OnCreateMainForm()
  {
  this.MainForm = new Form1();
  }

  [STAThread]
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
  MyApplication MyApp = new MyApplication();
  MyApp.Run(args);
  }
  }
  }
