Debugging VB.NET code from VB6

Hi !. This is my first programming related post on my blog. I will keep posting more programming posts based on my experience and knowledge.

In project based companies new technologies are easily adopted but this is not the case with Product based companies. Once the product is developed they have to stick with the language for years with which they developed it. Converting a product into a different programming language involves lots of development costs and this is not feasible every time.

Microsoft has done a good job by introducing Interop Toolkit. We can now develop new modules in .NET and use them in VB6. In this way we can use many good features provided by .NET. Here we use two languages .NET and VB6. So the debugging becomes little tricky, but it's not a big deal.

Debugging VB.NET code from VB6 is no different than debugging any other Visual Basic 6.0 project. Press F5 to run, attach VB6 process in VB.NET IDE, set breakpoints, and debug as you normally would.

Follow these steps to debug your .NET code:

1. Load your .NET project in Visual Studio 2005.
2. Build the .NET project if it has not already been built.
3. Load your Visual Basic 6.0 code in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE.
4. Run your application by pressing F5 in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE (Note: You must do this once before attaching the .NET debugger to properly load the .NET code).
5. In Visual Studio .NET 2005, select Attach to Process... from the Tools menu.
6. In the dialog that appears, select the VB6.exe process (Note: because the Visual Basic 6.0 code runs within the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE, you must select this process to debug).

You only need to repeat the steps above after rebuilding .NET code. The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE must be closed when rebuilding. After completing these steps, press F5 in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE to run, set breakpoints, and debug as you normally would.

There is also an another way for debugging. Instead off attaching the vb6.exe process everytime you can configure settings in Project properties to run external program while debugging.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Project properties window and select Debug tb.
2. In Start Action section select Start external program and type the path of vb6.exe. e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.EXE.
3. In Command line arguments type the vb6 project path. e.g. "D:\Test Projects\Project1.VBP".
4. Save the settings, set the break proints and press F5.

This will open the VB6 project. Press F5 to run and start debugging.

A true love story

A real story happens to a girl in chennai recently.. must read.

Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She is working in a call centre. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost. She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya’s family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya’s family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends “If I pass away please burn me with my handphone” she also said the same thing to her parents. After her death, people cant carry her body, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the body, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called a person who know to one of their neighbours, who can speak with the soul of dead person , who is afriend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.After a few minutes, he said “this girl misses something here”. then her friends told that person about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the grave box and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the body. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. Priya’s parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya’s mom. Shankar :….”Atte, I’m coming home today. Cook something nice for me.Dont tell Priya that I’m coming home today, i wanna surprise her.” Her mother replied….. “You come home first, I wanna tell you something very important.” after he came, they told him the truth about Priya.Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said “dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense”. then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) He said… “Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar’s phone rang. “see this is from Priya, see this…” he showed the phone to priya’s family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation. Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the grave box they were so shocked and asked for the same person’s (who can speak with the soul of deal perosns) help again. He brought his master to solve this matter. He & his master worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing which really shocked them…

Hutch has the best coverage. Whereever you go, our network will follows!!! :)
