I have a vb6 appl that I am converting to vb.net. I am having trouble replacing/converting vb6 use of the LSet stmt (LSet is not supported in vb.net). Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
The vb6 code uses the following public types:
Public Type SecurityAccessProps
strUserName As String * 30
strApplID As String * 30
strApplType As String * 1
strApplDesc As String * 50
lngAccessLevel As Long
dtDateLastUpdated As Date
strLastUpdatedBy As String * 30
dtDateCreated As Date
strCreatedBy As String * 30
blnIsNew As Boolean
blnIsDeleted As Boolean
blnIsDirty As Boolean
End Type
Public Type SecurityAccessBuffer
strBuffer As String * 186
End Type
_____________________________________________________
The vb6 code is as follows:
Private mudtProps As SecurityAccessProps
Private Sub SetState(strBuffer As String)
Const SUB_NAME = "SetState"
Dim udtData As SecurityAccessBuffer
udtData.strBuffer = strBuffer
LSet mudtProps = udtData
End Sub
Private Function GetState() As String
Const SUB_NAME = "GetState"
Dim udtData As SecurityAccessBuffer
LSet udtData = mudtProps
GetState = udtData.strBuffer
End Function
Is there a way in vb6 to re-write/replace the LSet stmt so the udtdata string buffer can be assigned the SecurityAccessType data and vice versa for the SetState & GetState functions? I need to keep the String functionality of the SetState & GetState functions.
OR ...
Is there a way to convert this code to vb.net without the LSet stmt? Again, I need to keep SetState & GetState as Strings.
Thanks

Pardon my ignorance, I didn't have the pleasure of working with VB a whole lot.
What is LSet? Goggle spit back this which might help you:

Personally, I wouldn't try to Port anything over- I'd rewrite.. it's usually less work.
