Appendix A

Object Mapping Reference

This appendix shows the property, method, and event mappings from Microsoft Visual Basic 6 to Visual Basic .NET for common objects. The Upgrade Wizard uses these mappings during the upgrade.

Each section covers one Visual Basic 6 object and begins by briefly stating what object it maps to in Visual Basic .NET. The table in each section then gives the individual mappings for each property, method, and event. If the Visual Basic .NET column indicates No mapping, it means that there is no one-to-one mapping, and therefore the Upgrade Wizard will be unable to move the property, method, or event to Visual Basic .NET.

For most objects, the type of each element remains the same after upgrade, and any exceptions are indicated within the table. With the App object, however, many element types have not been preserved. To make the distinction clear, the table for the App object has an additional column indicating the new type.
