VisualBasic

It occurs to me, and not just because we write and sell a .NET product, that a good number of owners of large VB 6.0 applications are about to become a little nervous. As part of a proposal for one of these companies, I was tracking down the support dates and end-of-life statements by Microsoft about VB 6.0. It says, basically, that the Visual Basic runtime (or an updated version) will ship will Windows Vista and will be supported fully for 5 years, and not so fully for 5 more years after that.

Web Projects and .NET 2.0

I’ve spent a frustrating day (again) attempting to setup a web project that is a sub-project of our main application. For whatever reason, I can’t reference code in a referenced assembly unless I load it as a control reference and, at least in most cases, copy the referenced assembly to the main /bin folder.
