VB6 Module for VS.NET

Why hasn't anyone released a VB6 module for VS.NET? It should be feasable, right?

ActiveState has a python module, so I know it's possible

How hard could it be???

*frustrated over VB6*

What specifically are you trying to accomplish?

Do you want to host a VB6 Control in .NET?
Or a .NET Control in VB6?

Both are already possible.


To Host .NET Classes within VB6, you can either use the Interop Forms Toolkit found @ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb419144.aspx

Or you can new up the Runtime within VB6 and write inline .NET code in VB6 as illustrated here:  http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2005/01/call-net-from-vb6.html


To use a VB6 class in .NET just use interop...

What is the problem?

I think the only thing that you could do in VB6 that cannot be done in .NET is "late binding" (That's because the language itself forbidden that, as it makes the code not very "managable")

For other thinks you can just search in search engine of your choice. I think the most common senerios are posted already on the web.

Umm, isn't reflection essentially late?

I think VB.NET also supports late binding.

Actually... The only thing I want to accomplish is to develop VB6 code in Visual Studio 2005.

Seeing as the VB6 IDE sucks majorly
