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.

Yes, in either language an IVR application is an in-process Automation component (ActiveX DLL) loaded by our server or simulator.

Mainsoft provides Java EE project templates for Web applications, portal applications, Web services, Web control libraries, console applications, and class libraries. You can use any Java class library in your project and consume Web services. Yes. Mainsoft-based ASP.NET Web applications and Web services are Java EE servlets. Mainsoft ASP.NET project templates include the web.xml servlet deployment descriptor file that you can update to configure your Java EE security settings.

You can easily create multilingual applications with the ProMatrix Multilingual Toolkit. Starting with VPM Enterprise 8.1, the ProMatrix Multilingual Toolkit is included in VPM Enterprise at no additional charge. The ProMatrix Multilingual Toolkit can be purchased as an add-on for VPM Standard and for versions of VPM Enterprise prior to 8.1. With the Multilingual Toolkit a VPM application automatically includes multi-language capability.

Yes, VBA exists in Office 2003 as it has in previous versions of Office. New XML functionality in Office Professional 2003 has been made available to developers through additions to the Office object model.

Answer: It depends on whether you are going to create an In-Process or Out-Of-Process application. Below is the process for both: Compile with Project Type as "ActiveX DLL". Use the installed VBSamples InProcess example as a template. Copy the contents of the InProcess directory to a new directory and rename the project (vbp) file. Either modify the startForm.frm or delete it and create a new startForm.frm. A startForm.frm is required. Compile with Project Type as "Standard EXE" .

Answer: Again, this depends on whether the application is In-Process or Out-Of-Process. Below are explanations for both:

Go to Tools > Run Macro and select Visual Basic DLL. The focus will flip back to VC++ at the breakpoint. All you need to do to debug an Out-Of-Process application is, use the Visual Basic debugger commands.

Make sure you have all the VB run time libraries installed. You can get the latest version from the Microsoft web site. The normal Wine releases don't have .exe extensions registered for Wine in KDE/Gnome yet. You have to open a terminal window instead (often an icon showing a "black screen") and type something like: cd /my/windows/program/directory wine myprogram.exe

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's CreateObject function creates an instance of an OLE automation server. It uses the standard COM APIs to create the instance and then query for the server's IDispatch. OLE controls are automation servers, however, they also implement a number of other OLE interfaces, and really expect to be active within a container.

Yes, VPM Enterprise includes full client-server application support. You can create VPM Enterprise front-end applications for all the popular database backends, such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, etc. We have designed VPM Enterprise to make it easy to create client-server applications. With VPM Enterprise, you can create one application that can access either local or remote data at the flip of a switch.

A digital signature functions for electronic documents like a handwritten signature does for printed documents. The signature is an unforgeable piece of data that asserts that a named person wrote or otherwise agreed to the document to which the signature is attached. A digital signature actually provides a greater degree of security than a handwritten signature.

We use "electronic signatures". Each client will need to create "keywords," which carry the same legal weight as your own signature. The system uses these keywords to validate the authenticity of your digital signature.

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.
