Porting vb6 to vb.net simply isnt worth it. For a project of any real size you would need to spend weeks/months implementing the stuff that did not port and testing the stuff that LOOKS LIKE it did import. Then at best you would have an under performing vb.net application coded in the same crappy style as a vb6 application. The truth is that its applications like this that give vb.net a bad name.
The correct way to go is the following:
1. Take a good look at the vb6 app and evaluate whats good / bad about it.
2. Start from scratch in VB.net using all the nice new OO methods now available to you.

Can anyone help. I'm trying to set the font of a label property to 'strikeout' by clicking on a command button. When I do this I get "Property Strikeout is read only". I've put in this code
Public ReadOnly Property Strikeout() As Boolean
Get
End Get
End Property
but whatever I put in between the Get & End Get statement isn't an accepted value. All MSDN info is only general not specific. This is probably simple but I just can't get passed it.

You will have to create a new Font instance:
label1.Font = new Font(label1.Font, FontStyle.Strikeout)
|

Thank you very much that works well. The next step is to apply the strikeout to a checkedlistbox line when it is checked. Can certainly determine if the line has been checked but need to apply strikeout to only one line at a time.
|

This is a bit more tricky, because the CheckedListBox doesn't support this by default. First you will have make your own CheckedListBox by inheriting from the normal CheckedListBox class. Then override the OnDrawItem method and implement it the way you want.
The easiest way to implement it should be to call the base implementation and just draw a line over the whole item when it is checked. Other possibility would be to get Reflector and look into the default implementation to get a feeling for what has to be implemented.

Thank you for the info so far. I had a quick look at creating a custom control but I'm a bit lost ( haven't had much experience with Visual Studio yet, mainly VB6). I don't have to have the strikeout, even a color change might do, as long as it is more noticable than the check box but I will try different ways.

If you want the text of any item of a CheckedListBox to look different, in any way!, from the others, you'll have to ownerdraw the list items, just like Christian said.

I am currently attempting to design an easy to use Order for about 24 different pruducts using Visual Basic 6.0. I am planning on using a database to keep track of previous orders and to hold the pruduct list. However, I am having trouble toring to making the 24 different text boxes to only allow the user to enter numbers only. I have tried going through the different properties and cant figure it out. Can anyone help me with the code or provide me a link with a detailed example? Also, if anyone happens to know where I can go to get a good example of a database driven order form that allow easy changes to pruduct numbers?

Does VB6 allow you to catch the WM_CHAR message ? If so, you can check if it's a number, and ignore it if it's not.

Public Function procNumOnly(KeyAscii) As Integer
If ((KeyAscii < Asc("0")) Or KeyAscii > Asc("9")) _
And (KeyAscii <> 8) And (KeyAscii <> 13) And (KeyAscii <> 46) Then
procNumOnly = 0
Else
procNumOnly = KeyAscii
End If
End Function
Private Sub txtPrice_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
KeyAscii = procNumOnly(KeyAscii)
End Sub
<italic>Work hard, Work effectively.

Wow - VB6 doesn't have IsNumeric, or IsControlKey ? Assuming you're safe to use hard coded ascii values, wouldn't it be better to accept the entire control range ?

You can't write an OS indepentent application in VB.NET, at least I don't think you can.
If you want your buttons, etc to be pretty, you need to write your own.

What abt the tools available for designing toolbar, but thr a all payed...
|
|
|
|

I assume the English translation is 'there are commercial tools for designing toolbars, but I want a free one'.
I have no idea what tools you mean - VS.NET will show your controls as they are, you may be thinking of commercial libraries to offer UI components that are not standard ( i.e. make your app look like Office or Visual Studio ), there are free components on this very site, but the commercial ones are obviously more extensive and better supported.

Yes. If you want something more fancy, or more focused on what you need, you will have to pay for it. Especially in VB, VB has always existed more on the basis of buying components to make it do stuff, than that of coders sharing their work.
