[mono-vb] Visual Basic not working?

[Alexander M. Batishchev]

Hi Fab, hi Kornél, hi everybody,

I agree with Kornél, and recommend you first to try port VB6 project onto
VB.NET using Visual Studio (maybe under the WINE) and only after that port
it onto mono.
And maybe it would be easy too if already having CLR-compatible code, port
it to C#.

Best regards,
Alexander M. Batishchev
