Question Advice: VISUAL BASIC 6.0 Tools
I'll be working on some old code this summer, written in VB6 by some guy in Oslo. The problem is: What tools should I use?



It seems like there are no good free environments on the net (this is Microsoft after all). I should be able to persuade my boss to buy me one, though, but which? Visual Studio 6.0 is very old, but the code was written in this IDE and might not be compatible with newer versions. What do you professionals out there think?

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'll have to make a decision fast...

To work with Visual Basic 6.0 you will have to buy Visual Studio 6.0. I don't know of any other IDE that supports VB6.0.

You confused me. VB6.... or VS?

What IDE, VB or VS?

I think that the latest version of VB is VB6, then, there is the .NET version but it's completely different from VB6

Visual Basic 6.0 is in Visual Studio 6.0 so you can either purchase VB6.0 or VS6.0.....

The latest version of VB is 9.0.

VB 9.0 = 2008
VB 8.0 = 2005
VB 7.0 and 7.1 = 2003
VB 6.0 and < 6.0 were prior to .NET and labeled only by their versions.

There is also "VBx" which is version 10.0. Its not released yet though.

For the .NET ones you can use Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions.

That's right. But as far as I know you cannot open a Visual Basic 6.0 project (which is the latest non-.net version of visual basic) with a .NET version. So the era of the old VB ends with VB 6.0 (NOT VS!) and then the era of .NET starts with VS 2003 or VB .NET 2003

Isn't this right?

I believe the VS Express Editions can convert the files automatically, no?

Yeah, but it costs money, which I don't have.
