I see that a couple of free Power Packs have just been released into the community which will be of particular interest to VB6 Upgraders who haven't yet managed to totally cut the Classic VB umbilical chord .
Details from the download page are:
Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit 1.0
This toolkit helps you bring the power of .NET to your existing Visual Basic 6 applications, by allowing them to display .NET WinForms from within the same application. Instead of upgrading the entire code base, these applications can now be extended one form at a time. The goal is a phased upgrade, with production releases at the end of each iteration containing both Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET forms running in the same Visual Basic 6 .exe process. |
Microsoft PrintForm Component 1.0
The PrintForm component is designed to bring back the ability to easily print a Windows Form. With this the new PrintForm component, you can once again lay out the Windows Form exactly as you want it and allow your users to print the form as a quick report. |
