This is a peice of code from my vb6 program that wont upgrade to vb 2008. Below is the wording of the errors I get for this section. The Comment lines that say upgrade issue are from the wizard update for vb 2008. The links given don't seem to help me much.



Private Sub DrawWafer()

Dim i, j As Short

Dim Rad As Single

XSpan = Wafer.XPitch * Wafer.Cols

YSpan = Wafer.YPitch * Wafer.Rows

Rad = Wafer.WaferSize * 20

The errors are as follows:

Error 42 'Cls' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'.
Error 43 'FillStyle' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'.
Error 44 End of statement expected.
Error 45 'Circle' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'.
Error 46 End of statement expected.
Error 47 'Line' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'.
Error 48 End of statement expected.

The basic problem is that for some reason you (or the upgrader?) chose to convert your picDraw object to a Panel (as the error message says, specifically to an instance of System.Windows.Form.Panel).

That's clearly not the right conversion, as a Panel has no drawing capabilities, at all. It's just a container for other object, including various sorts of drawing objects.

So go find where/what picDraw was in your VB6 code and figure out what it should have been changed to for VB.NET.

I'd guess that *probably* it should be an instance of System.Drawing.Graphics. Probably.

The automatic wizard that comes up when you try to open a vb6 file in vb 2008 chose to convert the picDraw object to a panel. PicDraw is the name of a picturebox that lines and circles are created in. How do I change it from being a panel?

Can't help you. Never used the VB6 to VB.NET upgrade wizard.

Best I can suggest is some code editing by hand.

Maybe somebody who has done this can help.
