If I take a small, innocuous VB6 app (we're talking less than 1000 lines of
code, with basically a few WMI calls, nothing major) and edit it with
VS2005, it tells me that I have to use Structure instead of Type statements.
(I'm not a programmer...) it doesn't seem these existed before .NET?
Anyway the question is that if I do that - if I modify VB6 code without
adding in .NET calls (I don't know even what that means) and compile it with
VB2005, is it going to require me to have dot net fw 2 just because I used a
.NET compiler?
sorry for the basic question - please no flames telling me to "step away
from the compiler" ;op

I don't know the exact answer for this but why don't you convert it and try
it? When VS2005 asks to convert it, it lets you make a backup of the files.
I think anythign complied with VS2005 will require you to have the .net 2.0
framework if you have any 2.0 dll referenced in your project. Usually the
converstion will switch the dlls to 2.0 if there is a 2.0 match.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Actually I think that was the answer I was looking for - it does not
reference any dlls at all. Thanks!
