Is one able to compile VB 6 code in Visual Studio.NET ? In other words, is it backwards compatible with older VB code?
Since I know there is a difference between managed code (.NET) and unmanaged code, I am wondering if Visual Studio.NET is able to compile unmanaged code as well?
Kind regards, Kris

It is true that VB.NET is an evolved version of Visual Basic 6, but it's not compatible with it. If you write your code in Visual Basic 6, you cannot compile it under VB.NET.
Both Visual Basic and C# customers can continue to use . NET Framework and need to port to . NET Core only if you want features like those listed above. If your application uses technologies that aren't supported on .
Right click on the file and select "Open With" and select your visual studio program. It may need to be converted and if so, it will prompt you to convert the project. Thanks!
While you cannot compile vb6 in the .net Visual Studios, you may use interop libraries to allow vb.6 to utilize managed code http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kew41ycz%28VS.71%29.aspx

No, you can't compile VB6 code in any VS.NET version.
