Code Advisor Q

Hi all,

General question: I just downloaded the MS VB6 Code Advisor to check it
out. Do you folk consider it of any value for a neophyte such as myself?

I almost jumped out the window when I saw it recommended 83 "fixes" but it
turned out there were really only 3 specific items but in 83 locations, and
two that it said NET has no such feature (CLS, I forget the other one,
app.something).
I have NO idea whether I'll ever go to .net; right now I feel no need
to, and that seems to be what the program is really aimed at. I'm such a
neophyte though, I figure anything that critiques my work might teach me
something<g>.

TIA,

Pop`

The Code Advisor is probably of most use to those with truly /massive/ code resources that they need to "port" to the new language with minimal code changes - although, as you've discovered, "minimal" is still pretty extensive. ...
