Hey
Firstly, i would like to say that this site is awesome, i have been using it for the past couple of months but just got my account today.
I finished a programming class and created a game on VB 6. However i used to version that came with the textbook and it lacks the ability to turn a program into an executable. Does anyone know a way of doing this short of purchasing (or downloading) the full version?
Thanks |

| I think with VB6 I think you can't compile an exe without spending some money. However, there is a free express version of Visual Studio that comes with VB.net, and it should be able to compile an .exe. Unfortunately, the code is completely different and not backwards compatible. |

| Also, on another note, if you're going to continue programming, try the latest version. .NET changes a lot of things and (in my experience) is generally more liked. You might also be able to get a full version from your teacher. Other than that, nothing I can say. There is a Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition which I believe can publish, however you'd have to convert your code to .NET. |

And while you are at it, you should ask your teacher why you are learning an obsolete language  . |

.net sucks, its too incompatible to put to any practical use.
who wants to force users to download 200mb+ file (.net framework) just to run your program? |

Visual Basic 2005 Express is indeed available for free download and can compile your code to an executable, library, etc.. Of course you can also even use it for commercial purposes. Visual Basic 6 is a horrible excuse for a language. It should be noted VB.NET is basically turning slowly into C#. Microsoft seems to be sweeping it under the rug.
As for .NET, it may require a large download for many users, but it's the way of the future for Windows development. Many computers already have the framework installed now and any new ones will have it installed by default. |
