So far only 2 controls dont upgrade, the slider and the imagelist as ASFAIK None of the controls can be control arrays. I agree then about not going from 4.8, if ever. vs2022 does allow LEFT, RIGHT etc. Which helps me. It is used as vb.Left, vb.right string functions.

I noticed in VS2022, the program runs in 64bit mode. When debugging I can not change any of the code, have to stop. Change code, then restart. I find that not so great. Is there a way to let me change code in debug with program execution sitting at a breakpoint? The program I imported from...

And still after all this, I do not think today I would ever code a standalone type program. I would want to use internet type web pages and let the browser render all the pages. That way anyone using any OS in a browser could run the program. I did years ago write a small PHP app and setup a...

I also gave up on using vs2008 for doing any more coding fixes as I found it has a major flaw with using 'getsetting' from the windows registry. I use a casual encryption sub that uses XOR to flip chars in a string and write it into the registry to prevent people from snooping into db...

I have been converting a huge vb6 project of mine from vb6 to vbnet. I have 25 forms and 20 modules of code. You know how same language has different dialects, that is what it is like between vb6 and vbnet I found helpful to use vs2008 to 'convert' vb6 project to vbnet, but only as regards a...

I managed to do it in vs2022 in the nuget section of the IDE At the PM prompt enter the install command and it retrieves the package and installs it in vs2022. I have noticed with computer things, a certain knowledge is assumed about procedures , and websites do not actually show a person what...

extracted it with 7Zip, but not sure that needs to be done. HOW can it be today, yesterday and last month? I just unzipped the files few minutes ago. I find that very confusing. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.Compatibility/8.0.4 How to install the package? what does this...

OK, SOLVED IT! reading this How do you upgrade the .net version? I am not sure where to and what to specify. Please help. Edit: I found the answer myself. Select the project, right click and choose Property Pages. There you can select framework version. or select the project and click...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10607095/this-assembly-is-built-by-a-runtime-newer-than-the-currently-loaded-runtime-and possibly the fix is in the above discussion. Can someone tell me how exactly to make this change?

Basically, I don't understand what the solution would be. What is VS 2022 saying here? it upgraded succesfully New item by Scott Downey New item by Scott Downey It needed a reference for ADODB, I first tried 2.8 but no work, tried 2.7, get same error. I have tried every ADODB reference in...

just use windows defender.

And just noticed it also can no longer open in vs 2008 Although it can still open the original vb6 project file and do another conversion. Something was either corrupted or deleted when vs 2015 got uninstalled I think.

Another conundrum just noticed. After uninstall of vs 2015. vs 2022 can no longer load the converted vb6 program ?? frm designer now errors. somehow the uninstall vs 2015 affected the functioning of vs 2022 I am about to uninstall vs 2022 also. maybe reinstall it as maybe remove of vs 2015...

I marked resolved as even though windows said not installed and REVO said not installed, I found a link to modify in the apps section for vs2015 and ran it and then selected uninstall. I am glad vs2015 is gone off my system. for some reason it again took a long time to uninstall and freed up...

I got rid of vs2015. Now on vs2008, help links written into the coding have functional hyperlinks, as in control- click takes you the help support for that particular line of code I also found you can save a vb6 project after conversion and then open it in vs2022. In vs2022, those same kinds...
