K8056 VB need help

Hi,

I have the K8056 kit and it is working fine.

Now I would like to work a little bit on the demo software in order to adapt it to my needs but I fail to make it work in VB 2008.

Does anybody have a sourcecode which can be debugged in VB 2008 ? I have already several times but somehow the directories are a little bit mixed up …

Thanks for your help

I assume you downloaded ‘k8056_vb_demo.zip’ and want to adapt that to suit your needs

The problem is that the demo application is written in Visual Basic 6.0, and you’re using Visual Basic 2008. Both names might seem identical (it’s just a newer version, right?), but the languages themselves are totally different. Visual Basic 2008 (or Visual Basic .NET) is based on the .NET framework, while Visual Basic 6.0 can create stand-alone executables.

Conversion between VB 6.0 and VB .NET can be very difficult, if not impossible…

Maybe someone has an already working example in VB .NET that you could use?

I’m not sure but the K8074 software (in .NET) might also partially work for the K8056… worth a try

Hi,

Thank you very much. Yes K8074 demo program does work with the K8056 board, but still unable to open it in Visual Basic 2008.

I will now try to make it by copying the code manually into a new project in VB 2008 … Maybe I can get something together

Thanks anyway
