quickbasic.../.Net question

[srx]

Does anyone know is you can compile quickbasic code under a .net environment?

Thanks for any info you may.

You can't just put you Qb code into let's say VB. Most commands are the same but the way they are handled is different. For example when you tell VB to do this:

Code:

DO
  Print "Hello"
Loop

the window will not start scrolling like when programming in QB. When you want to compile a QB program in a .NET environment you'll just have to rewrite it.

then you could do something like print2 and have it function so that is scrolls instead of just re-printing on the same place. Same with locate, csrlin, pos...

...and blah, and blah, and blah... don't you think that's better to write the whole thing from scratch? :o

There should be some kind of statement writen in the sky that read: "Although QB and VB 's second letter means "Basic", you can't user your crappy DOS code in Windows".

If you *really* need to reuse your code, you could look for those API calls which allows you to write Console programs in VB. It is not very hard, and it is explained here: http://nirsoft.tripod.com/vb/console.html
