Question

I am sorry about my lacking of VB knowledge(I am not a VB or .net developer), I adopted a very old and simple plug-in software, which probably was wrote by VB or VB.NET, the source code includes the files with the flowing suffix.

.dsx; .frm; .frx; msi; ,res; .sln; .vbp; .wip; .Dsr; .cls; .frm;

Here is the content of .sln file:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 1.00
Project("{73393D18-DAC4-11D1-88FC-0000F8064EBB}") = "Agile Plugin", "AgilePlugin.wip", "    {17DC5F11-9B32-47FE-9F12-71923EC1C0DC}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(LocalDeployment) = postSolution
    StartupProject = {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(BuildOrder) = postSolution
    0 = {17DC5F11-9B32-47FE-9F12-71923EC1C0DC}
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(DeploymentRoot) = postSolution
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal

Here is a part of the content of .cls file:

VERSION 1.0 CLASS
BEGIN
  MultiUse = -1  'True
  Persistable = 0  'NotPersistable
  DataBindingBehavior = 0  'vbNone
  DataSourceBehavior  = 0  'vbNone
  MTSTransactionMode  = 0  'NotAnMTSObject
END
Attribute VB_Name = "EventClassModule"
Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False
Attribute VB_Creatable = True
Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = False
Attribute VB_Exposed = True
Option Explicit
Option Base 1

Public WithEvents App As Application
Attribute App.VB_VarHelpID = -1
Public WithEvents Proj As Project
Attribute Proj.VB_VarHelpID = -1

Dim NewTaskIDs() As Long
Dim NumNewTasks As Long

Can somebody advise me the program was wrote by VB or VB.NET? and which Visual Studio can edit it? I tried VS 2008 but get an error which says: “Cannot be opened because its project type(.wip) is not supported by this version of Visual studio”.

Thanks very much..

Answer 1

That’s VB6 with a Visual Installer based setup project.

They are no longer supported.
