Microsoft Tool brings VB6 developers to .NET
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has released a new add-in tool to help Visual Basic developers preserve Visual Basic 6 applications and breathe .Net into them.
Microsoft released its Interop Forms Toolkit 1.0 as a free add-in that simplifies the process of displaying .Net WinForms in a VB6 application.
The new toolkit not only helps to preserve VB6 applications, but also lets developers add functionality to them through additional .Net forms.
For example, a developer could provide more dynamic content by adding a WinForm that accesses Web services or RSS feeds, Microsoft said.
