Upgrading Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to Microsoft Visual Basic .NET is the complete technical guide to upgrading Visual Basic 6 applications to Visual Basic .NET, covering all upgrade topics from APIs to ZOrders.
Tutorial Details:
It shows how to fix upgrade issues with forms, language, data access, and COM+ Services, and how to upgrade applications with XML Web services, ADO.NET, and .NET remoting. It also provides big-picture architectural advice, a reference of function and object model changes, hundreds of before-and-after code samples, and a CD packed with useful examples.
Upgrading Your Skills
The first step in a successful upgrade from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2005 is to upgrade your skills and knowledge as a developer. With the introduction of Visual Basic .NET, the "glass ceiling" was shattered for Visual Basic developers. Visual Basic .NET and Visual Basic 2005 allow developers to take advantage of advanced features such as multithreading, object oriented design, or Web services. It is important to understand that to be a successful developer with Visual Basic 2005, you don't need to understand or use these concepts and technologies. However, if you have a need or challenge that requires features such as this, then Visual Basic will be able to meet your needs. Visit the articles An Overview of Visual Basic 2005 or What's in Visual Basic 2005 for the Visual Basic 6.0 Developer to learn more about the new features in Visual Basic 2005.
Introducing the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2005
One of the most notable changes for Visual Basic 6.0 developers is that Visual Basic is now totally integrated into Visual Studio.In Visual Basic 6.0, the language and the development environment (IDE) were combined together. With the introduction of Visual Studio .NET 2002, all languages for the Microsoft platform now reside in the same development environment.
To help you learn the differences between the older Visual Basic developer environment and the new Visual Studio 2005 environment, Microsoft Learning has put together a course called Upgrading from Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Development Environment. This three-hour online learning course teaches Visual Basic 6.0 developers how to use their existing skills with the Visual Studio 2005 development environment. Specifically, this course covers the wide range of features included in the Visual Studio development environment, how to open and save projects, and how to build and debug projects.
