SUMMARY

Visual Basic 6.0 designers cannot be used in Visual Basic 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Visual Basic 5.0 and Visual Basic 6.0 can co-reside on one machine allowing the Visual Basic 6.0 designers to appear in the Visual Basic 5.0 Components dialog box. Even though these designers appear in the Visual Basic 5.0 Components dialog box, you should not try to use these designers in Visual Basic 5.0 because they work correctly only in Visual Basic 6.0.

Here is a list of the Visual Basic 6.0 designers:

Addin Class
Data Environment
Data Report
DHTML Page
WebClass
