I'm looking to download the visual studio that has vb6 in it for my computing homework but I'm not sure which one we use in school?

Is it Visual Studio 2005 I need?

We have to use VB6 as the programming language for computing at A level but I'm not sure which version of visual studio I need?

So far we've only done simple forms and stuff but I think we get on to databases after christmas.

Some controls just wouldn't work in design mode in Vista/Win7 and MS weren't going to fix/shim them. I didn't have problems compiling VB6 code on earlier operating systems and running them in Vista/Win7, but development does have some issues beyond the initial installation of it. I persisted/worked around it for the most part, as I had freedom to do so, but if I was doing work (as in $$$ or assignments), I'd probably run it in a VM (if I had an edition of Windows that permitted it) to be safe.

Maybe your google-fu will find solutions for that too, but just be wary, some of your fights to get things working (particularly as I say, some controls in design mode,) might cost you time. Depends how rigid the assignments end up being, and how much control you have.

I haven't tried it much.

My computing teacher said to just try and get it installed tonight and she's giving out a sheet of functions and stuff to try tommorrow to make sure our installations are working ok?

I can get a copy of XP from dreamspark but what would I use to VM it?
