Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has had some experience with this that they may be able to share. I have moved VBA forms into VB6 before without any problems, but VB.NET does not seem to recognise the frm or the frx files. I am a novice at VB.NET so I'm hoping that I may be missing something. I'm using SolidWorks 2003 & VB.NET Standard 2003. TIA. Shane
VB.NET is definitely a new language, not just a new version of VB6 / VBA. VB.NET has a wizard to import VB6 project, which should more or less convert your project. FYI, why I didn't move to .NET :
1) incompatible VB language : no more possible to cut/paste code from macros to add-in project 2) distribution requires Framework (17 Mb) installed on customer machines 3) addins cannot be loaded by SW2001+ users 4) all VB.NET brings you is a "real" object-oriented language. Use C++ instead. 5) simpler, smaller, free alternatives : Java, Python ...Shane,
VBA uses VB6 type forms. Therefore, I would suggest importing your forms into a VB6 project. Then, open the VB6 project in .NET. I think the problem is that .NET doesn't convert individual forms, but instead works at the project level.

Yes, as Evan mentioned, the converter works at a project level.

You can import the ActiveX control into the .Net toolbox for use on .Net forms. RMB Toolbox, pick Customize Toolbox. On the COM tab of the dialog that comes up, pick your ActiveX, and the control should be made available for use in your .Net project. It's better than working totally from scratch!
