J. Henshaw asks "Is it possible to run both VB6 and VB.Net on the same machine,or do I have to remove VB6 to be able to use VB.NET", and the answer is a definite yes. You can run them both on the same machine. Many people, including myself, run VB6 on the same machine as their installation of Visual Basic .NET. If you look at this KB article from Microsoft Support, you will even see that it recommended to run VB6 and VB.NET on the same machine when upgrading projects from one to another.

The percentage of the project that will be converted is typically more than 99%. However, the percentage can vary greatly depending on the structure of your code. For instance, if Option Strict is On then it is significantly easier to convert your code because C# is more type strict. Please see Limitations and Workarounds (PDF file) for more details. You may also want to look at some sample converted projects.

Visual Basic 2008 Express includes a migration wizard that will help import existing Visual Basic 6.0 projects. You may need to make some manual adjustments to the code you port over, but the migration wizard is a good first step towards moving your code forward.

Yes. STATISTICA can be controlled from within other applications, such as Visual Basic, using the STATISTICA Command Language (SCL). Programs written in SCL can be executed from within Visual Basic using the SHELL command. This allows for the complete integration of STATISTICA into your custom application or other applications such as ms Excel, ms Access, or ms Word. See the STATISTICA Development Environment for information about how to manage STATISTICA data files from within Visual Basic.

C-Sharpener For VB only converts from VB.NET to C#. If you want to convert Visual Basic 6 or earlier, we recommend that you first upgrade from VB6 to VB.NET with Microsoft's free VB to VB.NET Upgrade Wizard. After that, switch to C-Sharpener For VB to complete the VB.NET to C# conversion. This two step process seems to lead to the most reliable results.

The answer for all of these examples is the same, you can use the classes and methods in System.Diagnostics.Process to accomplish these tasks and more. Example 1. Running a command line application, without concern for the results: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ Example 2. Retrieving the results and waiting until the process stops (running the process synchronously): Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _ Example 3.

Paul Vick, Technical Lead on VB.NET, and the author of the Visual Basic .NET Language Specification, discusses the new short-circuiting boolean operators added in Visual Basic .NET 2002.

Visual Basic 2008 Express is designed for hobbyists, first-time developers, and students looking for a fun and easy way to build Windows applications.

The Express products are not officially supported. But you may find help by posting your question in the Express Edition Forums.

First you need a CommonDialog control on your form. In this example I've called it "dlgCommonDialog and in the form's Load event I've added:-

object is a combination of code and data that can be treated and controlled as a unit. Command buttons and other controls on a form are objects.

Test = Shell("c:\lincoln\bin\epfaxcl.exe -d" & InFile & " -e" & OutPath & OutFile & " " & Options, vbMinimizedNoFocus) InFile is the full path name string of the input file to be converted, OutPath is a string the indicated the folder where the output should be placed, OutFile is the output file name as a string, and Options is a string containing any and all of the command line arguments required.

If the PCL contains a pagesize command, it will override the default. If the file is ASCII, the page size will be either the default or that size otherwise specified by the user. The default pagesize can be specified on the command line or in the .ini file.

Visual Basic (VB) is a very popular event driven programming language developed by Microsoft. Visual Basic (VB) programming allows the user to create custom programs like our Excel macros or a custom Excel template. With the power and flexibility of Visual Basic, Excel and other Microsoft Office applications can become much more efficient.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language very similar to VB and is used for manipulating components of the suite of Microsoft Office products. With Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), programming macros for Microsoft Excel becomes easier and more efficient than ever. Whether it's creating macros to input custom Microsoft Excel formulas or Word macros, let us use the power of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to help energize your business.

RoboWorks comes with the RoboTalk interface that is supported using a Windows DLL. You can make calls into the DLL from Visual Basic.

Visual Basic 2008 Express includes a migration wizard that will help import existing Visual Basic 2005 Express projects. You may need to make some manual adjustments to the code you port over, but the migration wizard is a good first step towards moving your code forward.

Not really. Microsoft stopped supporting it, therefore we are concentrating on modern high level languages.

Make sure that before the call of compress, the length of the compressed buffer is equal to the total size of the compressed buffer and not zero. For Visual Basic, check that this parameter is passed by reference ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). Before making the call, make sure that avail_in and avail_out are not zero. When setting the parameter flush equal to Z_FINISH, also make sure that avail_out is big enough to allow processing all pending input.

Some of the complaints about C++ — especially about the programming environments — also apply to Visual Basic. The real problems are, however, with the curricula. Most VB textbooks are so taken up by the GUI-related opportunities in the language that they fail to provide any sort of coherent basis for programming. Teachers try to compensate for this with concepts such as flowcharts, which are effectively outmoded (as described above).

I am using referral (referer) protection however, with MPEGS, WMV's and pdf's it does not work - users are denied access, and with printing CSS I have the same problem.

Visual Basic 2008 Express can be used to build Windows applications, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications, console and reusable components and controls. If you want to create interactive Web sites, you should use Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition which fully supports the Visual Basic language.

Visual Basic is an event-driven language. It means that the program statements execute only when a specific event 'calls' a section of code assigned to that event. Events are normally triggered in response to some actions. For example, keyboard input, mouse actions, the operating system, etc.

There are two commands available for this. To copy an image from a PictureBox into csXImage use the BMPHandle property: ImageBox1.BMPHandle = Picture1.Image.Handle This will copy the entire contents of the PictureBox, including any empty space if the image is smaller than the PictureBox. To copy the contents of csXImage to a PictureBox use the Picture property: Picture1.Picture = ImageBox1.Picture The Picture property can only be used to export from csXImage, not the other way round.
