Hey all they have in stores is VS.net what do I do if I need VS 6.0? I have a program I was working on for a while with a few thousand lines of code and transferring it to .net would be a very big headache! and I want to finally have VS 6.0 non-pirated edition!

Whenever a new version of any microsoft product comes out, the old go away.

Try doing an ebay search, and bidding on one.

And it wont take but a moment to transfer to .net, it converts automatically.

Not quite automatically. I haven''t converted a single application besides "Hello World" that didn''t require at least some clean-up and/or recoding.

If you really need VB 6.0, eBay is going to be the way to go. I''m not sure if it''s still being shipped with MSDN or not.

However, I''d be negligent in my duties if I didn''t ask why you needed a copy of VB6.

So, why do you need a copy of VB6?

I am wirting a GUI for a not game and it has previously been written by someone in VB6, that is where I am continuing it. considering that it is a few thousand lines of code I expect it not to be very easy and fast to convert it.

Is it a DirectX game or a GDI game?

Oh well, at least its easier to convert from VB6 to VB.net than like 2 totally diffrent languages like for instance Pascal and lets say C++.

Well unless you can find someone that can compile/run it for you, to test, you''re going to have to convert it, sorry man!
