Well i was just reading through a VB.NET book and i saw this one syntax that i was unsure how to convert into VB 6.0 Syntax.

This code is placed in General Declarations (VB.NET):

Quote

Dim Number1 As Integer = 0

The "= 0" part isn't supported in VB 6.0 so if anyone could help me covert the code into VB 6.0 form it would be nice :D.

Thanks in advance.

It's been a little while since I worked with the VB 6 compiler, but I think the problem is that you can't assign a value to a variable outside of a method (function or sub), unless it is a constant.

So how would i go about writing the code in VB 6.0?

If I'm not wrong it would be
In the General Declerations Write:
[HIGHLIGHT="VB"]Dim Number1 As Integer[/HIGHLIGHT]

And in the Form_Load() Write:

[HIGHLIGHT="VB"]Number1=0[/HIGHLIGHT]

Simple :)

It doesn't matter where you Dimension the variable. You can't assign a value to it. Unless you dimension as follows:

Const VariableName as Integer = 10

If you don't want it to be constant, this is the correct method:

Dim VariableName as Integer
VariableName = 10

You can use either method in the General Declarations, or under sub or function. Hope this helps.

Umm, when i put:
Dim VariableName As Integer
VariableName = 10

It comes up with an error when i press play.
the error says "Compile Error: Invalid outside procedure"

Of course, the VariableName = 10 should be put as I told you in my post, under Form_Load() so it is set to 10 as soon as the application starts.. but heh, he thinks he is an expert :)

Ahh! TheComputerMaster thanks very much. I followed your instructions and it worked :D.
Now i need to find out how to change this code:

Quote

Date.Now.AddMinutes(Difference1*60 _
- Difference2*60)

Into VB 6.0 syntax from VB.NET

Any help?

I never said I was anything. I feel like I'm repeating myself... I remember in another post I was explaining to you that I wasn't "1337" either. So yeah, you got me this one time. YAY! You're better than me now. Good job!

Well explain what that is supposed to do, and perhaps we may be able to help you.

TheNerd, if that is not sarcasm, then thanks.

It was a little bit of both. But at least I admitted I was caught wrong on this one...
