Constant Equivalents for Visual Basic 6.0 Users

Visual Studio 2008

In Visual Basic 6.0, numerous constants were defined in the Visual Basic language. In Visual Basic 2008, most of the constants are replaced by enumerations in the .NET Framework; in many cases the Visual Basic 6.0 constants may still be used as well.

The following links will take you to topics that show the mappings between Visual Basic 6.0 constants and their Visual Basic 2008 equivalents.

Note:
If a constant is not listed, there is no equivalent. For example, DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) constants are not listed because DDE is not supported in Visual Basic 2008.
