• Visual Basic Migrating usage of VB6 control arrays to 2005. How do I do this?

  Hi again. Need some advice and I'm new to VB2005. In VB6 I used control arrays a lot, and there are no control arrays in 2005. I found out how I can do the same thing by referencing the handles in a sub, but I have another scenario not covered in MS's migration page. To make it simple, let's say I have 10 labels and I want to pick one randomly and display text in it. In VB6 I could have all these labels in an array and do this (quazi code) I = ( ...Show All

We are running on a P4 3.2 Ghz 1 Mb RAM with Windows XP SP2 (clean install). It seems slow in all areas of development. The only area where perfomance is as good or better is in running the release code. So far it's a major backwards step when compared to VS 7. Is anyone else experiencing t ...Show All
