MS Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition upgrades
|
|
| Dr. Edward Warren 2005-08-27, 9:56 pm |
| I have a copy of MS Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition that I purchased
in about 1999. I do a lot of serious programming in Access databases, but
lately I have wanted to work in just VB. I am asking what upgrades have
come along. Do I need to purchase a particular one or are there free
upgrades. What benefit would I gain by moving to the VB .NET program?
Thank you,
Edward Warren

If you version is from 1999, then you should probably upgrade to Service
Pack 5. I'm not sure if this is a free upgrade or not. There's a service
pack 6, but from what I've heard, Service Pack 6 introduces more bugs than
it fixes.

From what I've heard, none. VB.NET is basically a different language.

There is loss, not gain.
It is about 100 times or more slower.

Download and install Service Pack 5 for VB6 (or, if you have VS6, download
the "full" SP). It's free. You can get it here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/d...p5/default.aspx
Note that there IS an SP6. However, most of us recommend against installing
SP6 unless it fixes a specific problem you're having that ISN'T fixed in
SP5.
As far as VB vs. VB.NET? Well, they're essentially 2 different programming
languages. If you've done a lot of programming in Access, you'll find VB6
much more "natural" and should have few problems using it. That's not to say
there aren't differences between VBA in Access and VB6. But VB6 will be MUCH
closer to anything you've done in Access than VB.NET would be. OTOH, if you
don't learn VB.NET (or any of the .NET languages in general), you could be
leaving yourself out in the cold. More and more companies are moving to
..NET and if you don't keep up, you could be limiting yourself.

There are service packs for VB i use Visual studio enterprise with sp 6
and did not encounter "new" problems
I also Use VB.Net 2003 and it sure as #$$# is not slower as VB6 in a
mather of fact it is superior in speed if you program the VB6 way in VB.net
it is sometimes slower howver if you use true VB.Net code VB.Net is sure
verry much faster in a lot of operations ( for instance IO )
however VB.Net is more resource consuming and more difficult to deploy
because of the framework however with even Win 2000 discontinued this should
not be a problem in the near future as Vista is built on the framework (
so those people who are focusing solely on VB6 will be without a job in a
few years )
i don`t want to start a flame war here ,, but i get a litle bit sick of
those people only seeing the bad of learning some new syntax
i started with Basic on 13th years of age ,Basic will always be my main
language ( although i also do use C++ , C# , Java etc etc ) Visual Basic
..Net is still ,, My basic with some new syntax
a VB6 programmer stating that VB.Net is totally different has not given it
a honest chance .
i use VB6 and VB.Net every day in my work as a enterprise programmer for now
i use VB6 for every program that i ship to a customer , if it is in Companny
or a website project i prefer VB.Net also for maintenance to old apps i do
not plan to rewrite them ( if it works hands off ) .
regards
I just Love the Basic language starting of Qbasic until the VB.Net 2005
version :-)

I get very sick when companies or people force their ways.
Ignoring the time and money put in VB, that make me very much sicker.
You like .net you can have, I want my VB and I want VB 64 now.

| well and it is never going to happen
i have seen it before when the "Visual" appeared before Basic lots off
people said it wasn`t there basic annymore ,,, well wake up Basic is still
basic however it is just evolving
VB is now a teenager who sometimes gets home drunk ,,, however it is still
your baby but growing and growing
i remember the days hat people said that VB wasn`t a true language ( C++ and
Delphi were the true languages ) ,,, well did we get them surprised , with
VB.net as it is now the most evolved language on the .Net platform .
The comunity and this is not only Microsoft chose for one common platform ,
this will give you much more power as a programmer , it can give you even
platform independancy ( MONO for instance on Linux but there are more out
there ) it gives you even free or cheap IDE`s ( # develop for instance )
what can you ask more ? ( .net is widely accepted even in the opensource
and Linux comunity ) so to be short , it is the near future and you may be
part of it ! .
Yes i like .Net but as a certified VB6 developer i can tell you that i
also love my VB6 IDE as a professional programmer you must be ahead of time
,,, i play with SQL 2005 i try the new VB.net 2005 IDE even if i know that
with my customers,, it will take me at least three years before i may use
it with deployment applications,,,, however i am just 31 years old ,,,, so
when i ever get your mentality i hope i am reaching my early 60`s
otherwise i might miss the boat and end up at MC Donald`s flipping burgers
,,, do you want fries with that sir ?..

Well, goodness sir. I would say that with spell checking such as yours, a
career at Burger King is probably not such a bad idea.
If you'd like to be taken seriously you should consider improving your
communication skills.
At this point what I've got is that .NYET programmers not only can't spell or
avail themselves of software to improve their message, they also can't even form
complete sentences with proper punctuation and capitalization.
Let's all say a few prayers to the Microsoft gods for their accomplishments at
dumbing down the entire world. Thank You Microsoft!

That i already knew that it would end like this .
i am just telling my opinion and my thoughts and if this can`t be respected
it is time for me to step out of this thread .
about my typo`s ,,,
Well the world exists of more country`s as the English spoken . I am Dutch
so my native tongue is Nederlands a language that you can probably never
learn to speak as it is one of the most difficult languages to learn (
persons who speak English and live here for 20 years still have a inmediatly
recognizable accent )

Do you know that a program could cost lots of
dollars to program and debug. Now you want them to start
from scratch.
This one company spent $100,000 to program a project
and $200,000 to debug it. They can't afford spend another $300,000.
You are telling this people to either drop out, or spend another
$300,000.

well ,, it is obvious that you did not read my post ,, i said that i still
use VB6 every day , i said that i do not even plan to rewrite the old
products etc etc reread please ..
How can you determine that i would be green ?? , because of a minor post
wich you did not even read good enough ?
do you see mee making any claims regarding your "knowledge" ?

This has probably something more to do with the "experience" of the
programmer involved.
I believe you are a litle bit "green" programming in VB.Net

Don't you just hate it when people hijack the thread with comments that is
totally unrelated with the original question?
For other readers out there.
Every one has different opinion so light up. If you disagree with anyone
else comments then just state your opinion with out insulting or correcting
language. This forum is setup to help people with programming world not
language world and do not be a-hole like Stefan.

You could take a look at the Visual Basic 2005 Express edition beta if you want to see the
differences or advantages of moving to .NET. I use both and while many of the Classic VB developers
call them different languages, it simply isn't true. The most significant differences are in the
environment (.NET Framework classes) and language extensions and not the actual language.

| Ted ,,
i guess you are describing in some way yourself ,, as you do not know who i
am
however i will now follow the advice of the only person who gave a good
reply in this thread regarding this mather .
as you were so good in the Dutch language :
Ik zal jou wel in je waarde laten , en het respect geven welke je mij niet
gunde
believe me the universal translator will probably criple this , but it is
possitive for you
maybe you will once understand what i meant , and think about it in a
possitive way
with the highest regards

I don't care who the hell you are, you can be Bill Gates
himself, and to you and him I give the big finger.
You are a man that doesn't have value for others time and money,
that makes you a very sick person.
You are just as ignorant as the person that decided to replace
VB with VB.net.
Now why don't you get lost, got to the net forums and exchange
your thoughts. And you know where you can stick your .net.

Please do not adjust your brain, there is a fault with reality
Email - Domain is valid - user is not - I'm sure you can work it out though!
However, there is an agressive spam trap here, so you'll get blacklisted until I
white list you. If you've emailed and asked for a reply and not got one - please
post a message in here and I'll re-check the black hole!
A plague of Jonathan Ross a thousand fold on the spammers!!

| Dr. Edward Warren,
One additional FYI. As you may have noted, this newsgroup is largely made up
of VB6 programmers. To round out your perspective on the question of VB6 vs.
VB.NET, you might find helpful one of the dotnet newsgroups, such as
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb. Having worked extensively with both
versions, I can say that there are things I like and dislike about both.
Overall I'm excited about what .NET makes easier. However, as others have
noted, there will also be a larger learning curve coming from Access.
Best wishes,
