structured files

[kevin hankins]

we have defined a structured binary file type using VB user defined structures
(see below e.g.)

will it be possible to read such files written with VB 6 in VB.NET?

Thank you.

Type type_file 'one file
num_months_to_retain As Integer
num_file_attributes As Integer
num_file_conditions As Integer
num_part_conditions As Integer
num_test_variables As Integer
num_skip As Integer
data_type As Byte
file_attributes() As String
data() As single
num_parts As Long
file_format_eof As String
End Type 'type_file

I wouldn't count on it, but it's tough to say with .NET still unreleased.
However, once the structure for vb.net "Types" is known, you should be able
to write a .net wrapper around them pretty easily.
