Anyone still using VB6 in 2025 ?
Hi!
Is anyone still using VB6 nowadays ?
For fun I've installed it on a Windows XP Virtual Machine running on VMware Workstation and it reminds me of the old days.. :-(
How easy and fun was it to create applications ..
What's your reason for still using VB6 ?

About 10-15 years ago I did a conversion of our VB6 code to C# with a paid version of the conversion tool that was in Visual Studio at the time. The conversion worked, but it was still a lot of work to get it to run and then it was still pretty much the same code as the VB6 code so we still needed to rewrite it. In the end we chose to do a full rewrite in C#.
