Need help with VB6 .Net

DJAMS
Upgraded my workstation to Windows 10, so VB6 is no longer an option for my PC-DMIS software efforts.

I've got Visual Studio 2107 now, and I've run into a problem using PC-DMIS collections. In a nutshell, vb6 .net doesn't recognize them as collections. I have to declare the PC-DMIS application as "Object" in order to be able to enumerate through the collections. I was told that this means it's doing "late binding" - who cares. I need intellisense because I'm a terrible typist. In the screenshot below, if I change the declaration of the "app" variable to type "Object", the compile error goes away, and the code runs fine. But I don't see this as a solution.

I'll also point out that the Microsoft's File System Object collections work just fine when used in the same manner.

Has anyone got the solution to this problem?

  • I'm a little bemused at the consternation this is causing.

    When I fist switched to .net I found For Each Next didn't work - it was no real hardship to use...

    Dim cmds As PCDLRN.Commands = part.Commands Dim cmd As PCDLRN.Command For i = 1 To cmds.Count cmd = cmds.Item(i) Next i Just like using messagebox.show instead of msgbox, or dropping the SET keyword when decalring object variables - just one more thing to remember.

    You're right of course. I am well aware of the approach you posted. If you look at my 12.1 comment you'll see that I basically agree. However, something isn't right - and I intend to see it corrected eventually.
