Running VS.NET and VB.6 on same machine - what problems to expect?

[dhodges]

hello everyone,

I'm trying to run vb 6 on a machine that already has visual studio.net. When I try to run a vb6 project i get a compile error: can't find project or library on the MID function????? Does vs.net overwrite vb6 functions?

I installed vs.net first and then installed vb 6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your references for the project must have a reference to
Microsoft Visual Basic.Net Runtime
and you need a
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
at the top of the source file.

I have eliminated Microsoft.VisualBasic in favor of "pure" Framework object methods e.g. .Substring instead of Mid, .ToString("###.00&quot instead of Format etc.

I have VB 6, VB.net 2002, and VB.net 2003 all running on one machine, and so far no problems.

Somtimes, the easy answer is the hardest to find.
