You are being really silly. And claiming that other people "don't get it" to
hide your own ignorance is really telling.

Toss code in the trash - when did I suggest that? Never, so it is your own
straw man. I maintain existing VB6 projects as VB6 projects and strongly
recommend against upgrading to .Net unless there is a compelling reason to
do so (a situation I have not come across yet). As far as I am concerned,
..Net is for new projects only - and then not all new projects because VB6 is
just fine for some of them. Perhaps there are some .Net programmers who are
pressuring clients to upgrade existing projects without good reason, but
that's not a problem with .Net, it is a problem with those programmers.

And why do you accuse me of trolling? Nothing I have ever posted here could
remotely be considered a troll. I am an active and experienced VB6
programmer and come here to both ask and answer questions. Got a problem
with that? It sounds like you are name calling to cover the weakness of
your arguments.
