Remarks

In Visual Basic 6.0, the Show method specified whether a Form would be displayed modally; in Visual Basic it is replaced by the Show and ShowDialog methods. This function is used by the upgrade tools to map the Visual Basic 6.0 Show method to either the Show or ShowDialog method.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2008. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
