To be more specific: We have a web service (written in .Net) which utilizes a large number of COM dlls for core business logic (written in VB6). Assume for now that these are sealed libraries. Unfortunately, many of these COM libraries implement their own error handling or validation messages; if we pass in data which isn't complete, ...

I"m trying to find out if there is a 32 bit equivalent library. Googled on it, but no joy. Here's an example of the of the declarations Declare Function ...

This is somewhat related to a similar post, but that post was Visual Studio 6 in general and a lot of the suggestions didn't apply to VB6. Suggest or vote for tools/tips. Please one tool/tip per post so that everyone can vote on them individually. Include a brief description of what the tools do. ...

Some years ago I used to program in VB6, I really liked it because it was very simply and fast, when VB.net came out, I abandoned it because they changed a lot of things. I wonder if after all this years there's a new language or IDE that helps programming in an easier and faster way than VB6. I'm not very interested in academic/personal...
This is in VB6 (may also apply to VB.net) CheckBoxes can have three states (Checked, Unchecked, Greyed). But I'm using them to set boolean variables (MuteSound, etc.) This is definitely a value that has only two states. Unfortunately, the Checked and Unchecked don't correspond to a True/False value. So, I can't have: bMuteSound=Chk...

One of the cool things about VB6 is that if you add a line numbers to your code is that the ERL function will return it if an error occurs. I use MZ-Tools for VB6 to add line numbers to the entire project, which is really cool, however, it's a pain to work with code that is numbered. So I typically remove the lines while I work on it. ...

I asked a question a while ago about which local DB was right for my situation. I needed to access the DB from both .NET code and VB6. The overwhelming response was SQLite. However, I decided to pass on SQLite, because the only OLE DB provider for it charges royalties for every deployed copy of my software. It also requires an activa...
I have an application that I want to (eventually) convert to ASP.NET MVC. I want to do an all out service upgrade (to ASP.NET) but want to use current asp stuff to run the current functionality so I can upgrade small pieces while making incremental upgrades to the new framework. This site is heavily dependent on a VB6 DLL that is not v...
My company has tons of legacy applications that are written in VB6. We are in transitions from moving VB6 applications to .NET (3.5 specifically). What would be the best strategy for moving form VB6 to .NET? NOTE: Below update should go to "Project Management" and has nothing to do with the main question. [UPDATE]: Thank you for...
