This is the worst example you could give. Just add filesystem dll or whatnot from the .net framework as a reference to your project and you can use File.exists from VB.

To clarify, "Visual Basic 6" in this thread's title that everybody in this discussion has abbreviated to "VB6" is the "classic VB" from 1998.

There was no publicly released .NET in 1998. That came 4 years later in 2002. Maybe you're thinking of the newer VB.NET.


yes, I misread thanks
