Question

I am porting a VB6 project to VB.Net 4.0. Till .Net 3.5 we can use VisualBasic.Compatability dll to support the VB6 control and classes , but in .Net4 this is obsolete.

I have a Class with inherits BaseControlArray class and uses its class. I cant find any replacement or any solution for this. I Googled a lot to find solution. Is there any way to overcome this issue?

Solution 1

Rewrite an just use a generic collection, List(Of Button) for example, to keep references to the controls you want to keep in "an array".

The file is created dynamically by the Porting Engine. It uses some Function in BaseControlArray class. I have to find alternatives for that also. Any suggestion.

Great... you'll have to rewrite the sections of code that handle this by hand. I already told you how to handle simulating control arrays.

No, the wizard does not do a perfect job of converting code. Nothing does.
