You've been around here long enough to know the answer to this.
No, you can't leave out the .NET Framework. It's a requirement for every Managed Code application you want to run. The sole exception to this is if your application is run through something like Thinstall[^]. But, be prepared to shell out big money for this little gem, and others like it.

I answered this, I wonder where my answer disappeared to.
It's amazing to me that people use the framework, then assume we're all installing it for a joke, and it's not *really* needed.
I confirmed Seattle today, how about you ?

It's not looking good. I'm still trying to get confirmation on some project details, scheduling specifically. You know how that goes...everything written in Jello until the last possible minute.

Yeah, I wasn't confirmed until today, even now, it's not set in stone.
That sucks, it would have been cool to catch up.

There's a kick off meeting this afternoon. Hopefully, some usable information comes out of it and I can get a better idea of what's going on this month and next.
Did I mention I hate Government jobs?

Well, if it doesn't work out this time, there's always next year, or whenever your in Toronto. It's only about 270 miles away!  It wouldn't take much prodding of the wife to get a weekend trip out of her.

i know that it is important... but i though that there is a way to not use enable visual styles , drawings and other... just a button and start process, well newer mind i will install vb6 thanks anyway.

VB6 is outdated, unsupported and crap. If you want to write stuff that just runs, use C++.

yes i was just asking if there is any way to do this or i have to install vb6...

Even VB6 needs it's runtime library installed. It has the advantage over the .NET Framework because of its age. It seems that the VB6 RTL has managed to make it onto lots of machines through the installation of other applications.

Anyone here ever work with ICVerify? I'm a little confused on the format of a debit void...it looks like it goes like this:
"D2","Clerk Info","Comments","Amount(original)","Amount(to refund)","Total(original-refund?)","card #","NULL","track 1&2 card swipe info"
if anyone has used this before and can give me a pointer or two please help 
thanks guys either way

It's unlikely you'll get a reply. There are so many SDK's out there, it's very unlikely someone who has used your particular SDK will even see this post. You're best bet is to find a forum that deals specifically with the SDK in question.

Hi
I am a beginner to VB.Net. I have a VB6 project. I want to "transfer" this project to VB.Net. How can I do that? Is there some kind of automatic tool, a wizard or something that can to that? Or do I have to re-write the code according to the .net specifications?
Thanks

Be positive, it really hepls ....

If you drag the project file for the VB6 app onto Visual studio it will bring up an upgrade wizard

ok, 10x for your answer and sorry 4 being really stupid, but can you please explain to me in more details what I need to do? I don't understand!

There should be a file in your project ending with the .vbp extension if you drag it onto the icon for Visual studio it will activate a wizard that you can use to convert the project to vb.net, the wizard will guide you through it
P.S. there is nothing stupid about your question, if you don't know the answer to it, someone else probably doesn't either and posting the question here guarantees that others will have the opportunity too see the solution to it

Go to tools menu then "Upgrade Visual Basic 6 code..." then paste in portions of code at a time if you want.

Visual Studio has a built-in tool that converts VB6 code to VB.Net, but it doesn't always convert the code correctly. I always rewrite old code by hand, because converters have their limitations, and they do not always follow the correct syntax.
This is more of a personal preference though, converters may work fine for you. Try it out and see.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

if your project is bigger then 30 MB and has more that 20 modules then forget it. I had that problem two and i tried but its impossible so what i did was Windows Explorer/VB Projects/Select Project/Delete and started from beginning.

All you have to do is open the VB6 projects .VBP file in Visual Studio .NET and it'll launch a conversion wizard.
But, be warned! The conversion will use various methods to keep your existing code running as best as possible. It will NOT substitute .NET Framework or VB.NET methods and classes for your VB6 code. It will essentially wrap the VB6 code to make it run in the .NET world.
In all cases, I highly recommend just scrapping the VB6 project entirely and rewriting it from scratch, no matter what the porject size. Why?? Because when you want to start converting sections of the code to .NET versions, you'll be rewriting the thing, plus writing and adding shim code and various other utility libraries to translate between what you've done in VB6 and what is far more advanced in VB.BET and the .NET Base Class Library.

ok, guys 10x! i managed to to the upgrade, but i have a error stating that "Recordset is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Label".
how do i get rid of it?

Like I said, the conversion isn't perfect.
About the error message - isn't there something weird about that?? Why would a Label control have a RecordSet property??? It won't. The problem is WAY beyond a simple explanation or a fix that can be easily explained in a forum. This is going to take a code review to get it fixed.

I have a need to print a Form and its ComboBoxes and Labels by way of a ButtonClick. I found an example to use but it's very vague and I've been told that you can't code a Button in a Form to Print without an aftermarket tool.
Any advice?
Thanks
Jason
