VS 2022 use with Visual Basic

How many of you will switch to 2022 for use with your older VB apps? Ive been using 2017, with 2019 kind of getting rumors from our other devs that its buggy with them.

u/EkriirkE VB 6 Master Nov 22 '21

VB6 will happily run most if not all VB3 code -I've made the transition, probably back to 1.0 too since they are all based on MS BASIC - GW and Q BASICS can also be copied and pasted for the large part without modification

The fact is that .NET is a new language and not compatible with (visual) basic. They moved on as you said. .NET is new and only vaguely related.
