    <p>I have some .NET code I use from VB6 code. I have always developed this on an XP machine by creating a VB6.exe.manifest file that listed the dependent .NET assemblies. </p> <p>For example, say my 2 .NET assemblies are Some.Assembly.A.dll and Some.Assembly.B.dll, here is what VB6.EXE.manifest looks like (I use version=1.1.0.0 below because that is the version I set on the .NET AssemblyVersion in AssemblyInfo.cs):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type = "win32" name = "client" version = "1.1.0.0" /&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Some.Assembly.A" version="1.1.0.0" /&gt; &lt;/dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Some.Assembly.B" version="1.1.0.0" /&gt; &lt;/dependentAssembly&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;/assembly&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then, along with the DLLs in the same directory, I have the assemblies and their own manifest files. Here is an example "Some.Assembly.A.dll.manifest":</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"&gt; &lt;assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Some.Assembly.A" version="1.1.0.0" /&gt; &lt;clrClass clsid="{F1234567-1234-1234-1234-123456789012}" progid="Some.Assembly.A.Class1" threadingModel="Both" name="Some.Assembly.A.Class1" &gt; &lt;/clrClass&gt; &lt;file name = "Some.Assembly.A.dll" /&gt; &lt;/assembly&gt; </code></pre> <p>I also run <code>tlbexp</code> on referenced DLLs to create TLB files, and this is what I reference in my VB6 project file.</p> <p>I want to move to a Windows 7 64 BIT machine. Using the same methods, when I hit the VB6 code that instantiates the .NET object on the WIN7 machine I get </p> <blockquote> <p>"ActiveX Component Can't Create Object."</p> </blockquote> <p>On XP, it succeeds. If I purposely misspell the Dependent assembly in VB6.EXE.manifest - on XP I get </p> <blockquote> <p>"This application has failed to start because teh application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."</p> </blockquote> <p>On WIN7, VB6 just loads. It's like it ignores the manifest on WIN7, so I can't load my .NET object using REG FREE methods on WIN7. If I <code>regasm</code> the DLL, everything works.<br> Any ideas on how to make VB6 work with reg free com on WIN7 (64 BIT)?</p>

    2. COAt worst case consider rewriting the VB6 code now, its becoming obvious VB6 apps probably wont run on Windows 8 (unless MS continue to release the VB6 runtime with the OS) and with all the 128bit OS fuss with Windows 9 I think we are going to see the end of 32bit apps, unless you use a VM

    3. CO@Jeremy Thompson - it is third party code, not my decision - i don't think we'll see the end of 32 bit code anytime soon

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
