It's soooo terrible to work on this project with VB 6 .
I miss the inheritance, ADO.NET, reflection, C# - just everything. Thank god, that this is the last version which is developed in VB 6. The next version will be written in C#.

Looks like the transition from VB to VB.net is too big, people are probably moving to C#?
I am that is

Or just too ashamed to check it...
I did not check it on a technicality i.e. Others in the office do the VB.NET projects, the boss knows I have alergic reactions to it.

Yep, just to test the activex controls they've written in mighty VC6

Something that I think we as programmers forget is that Programming is a business. Either you work in a cost center and you have to minimize you cost while adding the most value to the business, or you work in a profit center (as I do) and your focus is on the P&L. VB6 is here to stay for a while because from a business perspective it doesn't add a lot of value to a business to change technology just because you can. Especially if you end up with the same application you have in older technology.

The place that hired me as a consultant was afraid to go to .NET so they wanted everything done in VB6 so that their mainframe programmers could eventually figure the code out.
However, I have been making sure that I fully qualify everything so that it makes it easier to convert to .NET in the future.
But I must say I have been learning C# since January 2004 and I'm pretty well hooked.
Fear is the mind killer. so most of you have everything to worry about, know don't you!

I moved from VB6 to C#, because I knew that the .NET learning curve was big enough that I may as well throw myself in the deep end and learn a new language in the process. I'm glad I did, and I must say that I prefer it over VB.NET (just slightly).
That said, I use VB.NET too, and the VB6 projects that I know of are migrating to VB.NET. So, no I think most VB6 people will stay with VB language.

I contract therefore I do what I am told...
personally I prefer C#.
|

|

I would contract if I knew I 6month+ of VB work lined up, I'd rather be unemployed
I am that is

I will tell them different things, depending on day of the week and my mood at the time.
