I have vs2005. Someone put together a project for us in vb6, but
when I try to open in vs2005, it converts, but doesnt compile and
I dont really see the source code.
I have projects in vc6 and those will convert to vs2005.
Does vc6 exist? Is there a way of downloading it?

You cannot compile VB6 code with VS2005. You'll need VS6.

Yes, Visual C 6 exists, as does Visual Basic 6. What language are your source-projects in? Is it basic or C? If you're coming from Basic, you might want to check out the interop-toolkit from Microsoft, allowing one to mix VB6 and .NET code.

Visual Studio 6 has to be bought, it's not a free product.

THe conversion process is not perfect, so it's not guaranteed to work. You should have the source available in the Solution Explorer. If it doesn't show up there, I don't know what's wrong with the project.
Your best bet for converting VB6 to VB.NET is to start rewriting the project by hand. You can use converted code in the new code, but the conversion process adds a bunch of code to maintain backwards compatibility for the VB6 code. Not the best solution. The conversion is there so you don't end up rewriting the entire project from scratch all at once. You can rewrite sections at a time.

Hi,
This is an easy one, I think.
I have written a procedure behind a button e.g.
Private Sub btnProcess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnProcess.Click
I want to call this procedure from a timer function, how is this done?
Thanks in advance.

How would you call any subroutine?
The best things in life are not things.
|

1.
why would you put code in a button click handler, if what you want is have it executed by a timer tick handler?
2.
you can simulate a button being clicked by calling Button.PerformClick

You don't put the code in the Button Click event handler. You put code in its own Sub, then call it from the Button Click handler and the Timer Tick event handler.
|
|
|
|
|
just call btnProcess.PerformClick() in timer.tick event.
or
btnProcess_Click(sender, nothing) in timer.tick event.
|
|
|
|
|
That's the very wrong way to do it. It's lazy and leads to other possible issues that can't be traced down easily.
If there is code that needs to be executed from multiple places you stick it in its own method with a name that has meaning as to what the code does. You don't "hide" it inside an event handler.
|
|
|
|
|
its up to the developer to decide... and ofcourse the one who asked this question knows how to move all the statements in the button's click event to a sub-routine and call the same sub-routine in the button's click event. its that simple..let them do in their own way. can you describe why it is wrong way?

Hi,
I get the following message when I try and delete a file.
"System.IO.IOException - The process cannot access the file 'filename' because it is being used by another process."
My cut down code is as follows
Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = diFolder.GetFiles("*.pdf")
For Each fi In aryFi
sFileName = fi.Name
fi.delete
Next
Basically what I am doing is that depending what file is in the folder, delete it once I get various information about it that file. The above code is a cut down version. What other way would you delete a file or is this the best way. If so, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

The "other process" still has the file open. There's no way to delete it until the other process closes the file.
You could force it closed using some hacked techniques, but that'll only crash the other process that still has it open.

|

Hi,
that is one of the more confusing Windows/.NET error messages. The "other process" may well be your own process, it really should say "some process".
So it could be as well your own process having read or written the file, or having interrogated the file system about its characteristics. Make sure you don't have open streams, files, fileinfo's, etc; close and dispose them before executing the code that throws the exception.

Maybe it should just say "... is currently in use."

Yes and no. Shortening the message is one way of improving the probability it hits the truth, but then it is also less informative. I'd rather have it say: "the file is currently in use, either by your own process or by some other process." That way, the reader knows he has to actually look for two quite different possibilities.
And then, of course, they should put in some more effort and find out which of those two it is, and provide the more specific message; either "the file is currently in use by your own process", or "the file is currently in use by another process (processname, processID)". But that would be helping the user, something Windows isn't inclined to do much.
