  1. Bug Report : VS2019 16.4.0 Community Edition

    Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio doesn't get loaded in Vs2019 V 16.4.0 Community Edition because it uses "Deprecated Synchronous Autload APIs"

    Is there a solution please ?

    Thank you

  3. [Bug] AggregateException

    After solving some initial issues (I'll post those later on) I finally managed to import a VB6 project which includes all my files. However, I get an AggregateException, see below.

    I'm not sure if it is related, because I'm getting this exception after a few seconds after opening the project, but I'm also unable to use any of the "Go To x" context menu option. When I click on them nothing happens.

    I'm using the Visual Studio 2019 version.

    System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: itemat Microsoft.VisualStudio.Language.Intellisense.QuickInfoItem..ctor(ITrackingSpan applicableToSpan, Object item)at Vb61.VbTools.LanguageService.QuickInfo.VisualBasicQuickInfoSource.<GetQuickInfoItemAsync>d7.MoveNext()…

  5. Add support for Visual Studio 2017

    Dear team,

    Visual Basic Tool could work under the Visual Studio 2017, since there is so many legacy code that needs to be maintained or updated/migrated to .net

  7. Source files in subfolders do not appear to work properly

    We have several projects where the .cls, .bas, .frm, etc files are located in different subfolders under the folder where the .vbp resides. It seems to have trouble with this situation when importing projects. I end up with a whole bunch of folders with the same name showing up in Solution Explorer, with each of those having a subfolder under it with the name of the actual subfolder where the source files reside. That in itself is a bit weird, but if it still worked it wouldn't be the end of the world. However, if I close the vb6proj and…

  8. Use Let and Get as part of the property name

    In the case of having a setter/letter and getter you would have multiple properties of the same name which results in a duplicates when collapsing regions or when selecting a method in the text editor drop down.

    I suggest making the Let/Set/Get be part of the name when collapsing the region and adding the method name in the drop down.
