It's like the redesign of a website: Most companies do it only because the current design is getting boring to THEM. But to their customers it would be helpful to stay what they used to.
So is with <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_MFC_CListCtrl.asp" style="text-decoration:underline">CListCtrl</a> (for which I actually voted here): Just because it's getting boring to you/us, this is NO reason to get rid of

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.
