Probably old news by now (expires April 15, but I found it humorous.
On the heels of the classic COM VB petition, RealBasic offers a free version for disgruntled VB6 programmers until April 15.
Of course, you'll have to learn the differences between RealBasic and Visual Basic 6.0, so why not just spend that time learning VB.NET or C# instead.
Some of the RealBasic community is beginning to build some RealBasic .NET namespace lookalikes. You can run, but you can't hide :)
Nice, but no thanks, if I want to play with cross-platform, I'll stick with C#/Mono Monoppix in a VMware session.
Heck, I coded VB since 1.0 and QuickBasic 4.5 / Basic PDS 7.x before that, but I didn't have a problem with C# and .NET. I mean, I prefer C# to VB.NET as a framework language simply because I still have to work with VB6 and it creates less confusion. 40% VB6 legacy stuff, 60% C# new development. When I have to flip flop between languages in the same day, I'm not confused with the similarities between VB.NET and VB6. When I see curly braces instead of a lot of THEN, END, DIM etc, my mind shifts gears for me.
That's my suggestion to VB6ers, keep coding in VB6 when you have to, and take the opportunity to make a clean break to C# when you want to code .NET framework stuff. With Windows forms designer in .NET, why not C#?
