VB 2008
David
Just tried the Trial version of VS 2008. If anyone thinks that migrating
aVB6 project to this new thing is easy..forget it. Data access alone in a
pain. With ADO you knew where you were, VS..well, I'm totally
confused..nothing..ahh sod it enough of the rant.
Also, try getting a combobox to work properly...sheesh.
Now, where was that free trial of Delphi.

Out of about a dozen or so projects that I ran through the VB2005 "upgrade"
wizard (or "import" or whatever), a grand total of one was "upgraded" to
anything even remotely resembling a compilable project -- but I still had to
spend some time massaging the code to get it working *right*. (The only data
file used is a text file.) Even after the trouble I went through, I don't
actually *use* the "upgraded" program; it was just "let's see how bad it
really is" (and it really is bad).

I have Delphi 7 around here somewhere, courtesy of a former employer. ;-)

It's like a really weird union meeting.

Really? How could I get my hands on a copy of that?

Kevin, here's a copy/paste of part of a reply from expvb on 1/13
in the General Discussion ng.

Two of these products are not free(RealBasic and PowerBasic). Older Delphi
2006 and Turbo C++ 2006 from Borland are available for free, including
commercial use. They have limitations, but I am not sure what they are. See
their FAQ.

Click on "C++Builder" or "Delphi" and look for "free download". They have a
DotNet and non-DotNet editions, avoid the DotNet editions.

I downloaded it but haven't installed it yet.
