we have recently upgraded an old VB6 windows app to C# .NET 4.0. I am looking to replace references to the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.Support class, as Visual Basic 2010 is warning me that 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.* classes are obsolete and supported within 32 bit processes only. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=160862'
This article assures me that: 'Functions in the Compatibility namespaces were created to work around shortcomings in version 1.0 of the .NET Framework. In most cases, functionality added in later framework versions can be used to rewrite the functions, resulting in improved performance.'
My question is, what are the additions to later framework versions that I need to use to do away with the Compatibility.* classes? I need to phase out TwipsToPixelX, TwipsToPixelY, and so forth. Also, FontChangeUnderline, FontChangeSize, and other font-related stuff.
