I've been using 6, but hope to upgrade to 2010 in the next few weeks. ----------- VB 5/6 and VB.Net are two completely different things. 2010 will not be an "upgrade" but rather a transition from a RAD COM-centric system for writing compiled software to a Java clone, writing JIT-compiled software that runs on top of a VM. (The .Net Framework) Microsoft has had groups for VB and VB.Net, but they are closing down their Usenet server. If you want to continue to use Usenet, the VB.Net group is here: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb This is one of several free servers you can use to access the group: http://eternal-september.org/ If you want to use the MS web forums, as Microsoft would like you to do, see here for your options: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories

Your VB6 code cannot be converted to VB 2002 or after. It often requires a rewrite to make it work in the new language. If you decide to use VB 2010, then you better ask in the following group, as many in this group use VB 5 or 6(VB Classic). There are two or three here who are familiar with .Nxt, but it's better to ask in a group dedicated to the language, so you get many inputs, and corrections to inputs, which you are less likely to get here. news://news.aioe.org/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb You have to decide now which one to use. VB6 programs would run on Windows 95 and after, and use less resources. Dotnet based VB(2002 and after), require Dotnet runtime, which may or may not be present in older systems(2000/XP). VB 2005 and after programs require Windows 2000 or above to run, and .Net v 2.0 minimum, which is a large download if need to be installed. I think it's part of Vista and after, but I am not sure. If you want to use VB6, see the IP Helper API. GetAdaptersInfo() is what you need. See this VB6 sample: http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/getadaptersinfo-localipaddresses.htm This site is for VB6 code only, despite its name. See also these functions: InternetGetConnectedState InternetGetConnectedStateEx InternetCheckConnection InternetHangUp As for terminating programs, you send WM_CLOSE to the application main window, but this will not always work. In that case, terminating the process works all the time. Search the web for "FindWindowLike" and "vb -dotnet TerminateProcess".

Otherwise three months, IF he knows his stuff. That's a complete exageration, IF he knows his stuff. Larry, is a bit closer to the truth, if you include getting a good working knowledge of the .NET framework. As for language syntax - if he know his stuff he already knows about 90%. The rest are the differences. He should be productive inside of a week.... I've jumped languages many times - and, in less then a day I'm usually doing something useful, so I don't see why this should be any different for someone with more then half a brain... Hell, today I was adding new methods and fixing bugs in someone elses action script code - and I have never written a single thing in it before.... If you know how to program, moving languages is not that big a deal. -- Tom Shelton |
