guys, i just got Visual studio 2005

but to my great surprise some of the old commands doesnt work!!

for example, i always used "unload me" to unload a form b4 i move to another in VB6

now what? i found the "me.close" but it closes the whole program sad.gif

oh guys please help me, tell me the new commands sad.gif

another example, when i wanted to make a form to be showed and until it closes no other form to be able to take focus, i used "frmAForm.show 1"

but now u can only use ".show" the "1" cant be used!!! crazy.gif

i am so sad, i feel totally noob sad.gif sad.gif

plz help me and thx a lot

VS 2005 is based on the .NET framework..meaning that it is VB.NET, to my knowledge. this is a substantially different language than VB6, which is no longer supported.

Some of the differences are listed here:

but there are thousands more...

It just means that Microsoft will no longer be releasing any updates for VB6, or be developing in it themselves. They will also not take any overt steps to ensure that future operating systems (which they say will be built using .NET) are compatible with applications written in VB6.

Having said that, XP is VB6 compatible, and Vista will be as well. There is still a very large VB6 development community out there, and many of them do not like the .NET version...I expect it will be quite some time before VB6 is gone, so not to worry! smile.gif

To close only the form that you created and not the main form, which will close when you use the Me.Close().

Replace the 'Me' with the name of the form you are closing. This will keep the application running, allowing you to continue working in your application.

Example

CODE

yourForm.Close()
