Migration of VB6 ActiveX Contols to VB.NET

[J.R. Turner]

Hi,

Is there any reason for concern about the migration of 3rd party VB6
ActiveX Controls when migrating to VB.NET?

Thanks,

Can you clarify your question? Do you mean will specific controls be
available or something else. I would contact the vendors you are concered
about. There will be an active thrid party market.

well...

ActiveX controls (with interface) can be used in your toolbox by just adding
it on Tools|Customize Toolbox.

I have used the MSAgent once, and no problems with that.

Instead, if you want to use a Type Library or a COM/DLL, you MUST create
a wrapper to it, so you can use a "managed code" version of it.
