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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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.

Many programmers code their Java classes (see #9 above) using the Editor that is supplied with their Operating Systme (I use Windows Notepad myself). The Java Development Kit (JDK) that you download from Sun Microsystems does not come with an IDE per se--but you can download one for free from Sun called Forte, and there are some other free ones available. In addition, there are other IDE's available for purchase. See similar questions...
