No converter is going to convert everything properly. You WILL have to do some editing and the conversion tool lets you know this by putting comments into the code and generating a conversion report.
And as far as I know, this is the ONLY product that will convert your VB6 code to VB.NET.
But, IMHO, the best method for code conversion, by far, is to rewrite it yourself...

hi,
when u open a VB6 project file (*.vbp) in DotNet IDE, the migration utility for conversion popps up... just follow the instructions.....
finally it will generate a list of errors or code which it was unable to convert into VB.NET... for that some perticular help is also provided...
by just following those steps u can get ur work done...
all the best....
- thanks and regards,

I suggest you pick a more current ADO reference. Go to Projects menu then click Reference i.e Projects->Reference and when the reference dialog pops up, check the A.D.O 3.6 or most recent ADO reference.
or try this:
option explicit
dim cn as new ADODB.connection
dim rst as new ADODB.recordset
dim sql as string
in the form load event
with cn
.provider="Microsoft.jet.oledb.315"
.cursorlocation=aduseclient
.open
end with
try to read more about ADO

Hy everyone!
I do want to change the columwidth dynamically, meaning depending on the length of the text/string entered.
I had a look in the VBA help but could only find an assignment of fixed values.
What I want to do is something similar to
Cells(lrow,lcolumn).Width=Length(mystring)
But well I guess Excel or VBA respectively is not able to get the length, or does it? 
Thanks!
Stephan.

Rather sad u didn't mention the type of control. Do this by responding to the event that is called anytime the items in the control change. Just loop through all the items in the control and get the maximum width to the lengthiest string.

I do not use any control.
I do want to calculate using data from one sheet in Excel and printing the results to another sheet. Then I do want to change the cellsize to make it fit to it's contains.
So what I want to do is implement the same function which you get by sizing a column to optimal size in Excel.
And because I do not know which strings or integers will be copied to the sheet (meaning as result) I do want to print the data to the sheet and change the size afterwards.
Thanks.
Stephan.

I found a solution. To get the optimal size of the cell in Excel via VBA you have to use the .autofit operation
syntax
Columns(index).Autofit
This is the easiest solution!

hello
i am developing a term project of sending sms in pakistan and aslo world wide i have searched so many webservices.one is tiscali webservices. actually when i send message the notification message appear that message has been sent but i did not receive message please help me give me early reply and please send me links of webservices. thanks. ok bye

Reply to what? You haven't given us code snippet of how your sending this message and, therefore, nothing to help you with. But, my first 2 questions would be:
Are you using any publicly available SMS server sites to actually send the message?
Does the site work with the mobile service you're using?

Hi ,
I have a requirement in my application where in a list of
properties are show in the property grid control.
The senario right now is , i use the property grid control
provided in .net to show a set of properties by creating a
class with private members and defining their get set
methods and assigning the object of the class to the
property control's selectedobject thus creating the
property grid, going 1 step further i would like to add
more properties to this control at runtime depending on
certain values fetched from the DB, as i cannot add members
to the class at runtime i am looking at alternative
solution to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I used open file dialog control in vb.net. I used the .InitialDirectory property to open the file folder and set to Application.ExecutablePath. I found that when it start the first time it browse at the C:\Program Files... something like that. But my purpose it open the first is the My Document folder. I don't know the code that it write, could any one give me some idea about that???

Kind of complicated because you have to get the location of the My Documents folder from the shell. The following is the code for a simple form with a single brows button that finds the My Documents folder and opens a file dialog to that folder.
You should break out the shell code into a module so you can reuse it. I just included it in a form so you can cut and paste until you understand how it works. Create a form, add a button - btnBrowse and a FileDialog control, and the add the code as follows:

Thanks, did not know about the Environment class. NET 2002 contains no support for the folder browser, so I accustomed to doing everything with the the shell APIs.

Check out my post[^] in response to the other poster. I think you'll find the code MUCH easier...

Hi can any one help me?
I have got a varible length array and need to find out its length. The way I have made the array is
dim Array() as string
Redim Array(Varible)
Thanks for any help on this.
|
|
|
|
|
By length, do you mean how many items it contains or the total number of all characters in all items in the array?
|
|
|
|
|
I mean the total number of items in the array
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to get the number of items present in the array you can use UBound(ArrName)
|
|
|
|
|
you defined your array by redim.
In there you assigned the size by using the variable.
I would check the variable to get the size of the array
note that indexing starts at 0, so if you assign 5 to the variable, the size of the array is 6.
So in general: The size of your array is "variable+1".
I hope I did not missinterpret your question!
Stephan.
