DFW and BOS VB Road Show Links
To everyone who game out to the VB Road Show events in Dallas two weeks ago and Boston last night, thanks!
Here's some links to Visual Basic related tools to help you on your road foward.
Visual Basic 6.0 Code Advisor [0]. This free VB6 add-in will scan your VB6 project and/or individual files and provide a list of items to fix before you attempt to upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 (or earlier versions 2002/2003).
[1]. You'll need to apply to join the workspace to download the Assessment Tool and/or the Guide. Joining is free and you should get an acceptance in a few minutes. You'll need a Passport account also.
Refactor! for Visual Basic 2005 Beta 2 [2], [3]. The first link points to the MSDN site. The second link points to the actual download page at Developer Express (the developers of the tool). Don't forget to register so you get the bonus tools. Just a reminder: Refactor doesn't work with the Express edition of Visual Basic 2005.
End of line.
