    Visual Basic Compiler / IDE download (newb)

    Basically I would like to downlod the visual basic 6.0 compiler, but i
    already have the vb.net compiler. I had to pay for the VB.net IDE, just
    wondering if I can get the vb 6.0 IDE for free or not. all comments are
    appreciated. Thanks all.

      nope... different product.

      If your looking to learn VB6 the cheapest solution is to go to a
      discount book store and find a VB6 book that comes with the learning
      edition.

          How about the compiler, is the compiler freely downloadable? Does it come
          with the IDE that I have to pay for?

          Also, I know in Java, C, and VB.Net it is possible and not that difficult to
          write code without an IDE like JBuilder, JCreater, Turbo C++, or Visual
          Studio.NET. However, of the little VB6 that I know, all I know how to do is
          drag labels in the IDE onto certain pixels. I am not at all familiar with
          this concept but am an actual code writer. For example, (in java) instead of
          dragging a label, I would much rather type Label l = new Label("Test
          Label");. Is it possible to write code in VB6 without the use of an IDE (in
          a processor such as wordpad), or is it manditory that I have one?

          -Sorry for all the newb ?s, Thanks again.

              you can create window components (labels, text boxes) dynamically but I
              really don't think you want to do this outside of the IDE. It likely
              *is* possible but one would have to ask why??

              Another cheap solution to obtain VB6 would be to look on EBay.
