Gentlemen, I already have VB 6 applications running in my website.

In a short sentence, why is it convenient for me to switch to VB.NET?.

Can VB.Net read VB6 applications?. Thanks. Guillermo.

Short: it isn't.



Shorter: No.

Do you mean VBscript as in ASP or DLL's on the backend?



It's not



Yes through a converter. But you end up with ALOT of code that needs to be

fixed. Easier to just start from scratch using the tools and syntax

available through DotNet.

Wow, got the answer in minutes. Yes, very helpful. Sticking with VB 6 then.

Thanks, Jeff. Guillermo.

I knew Jeff was an authority figure, but I seriously underestimated his

power.



Perhaps he should email the OP with a request for money?
