VB6/VB.Net
This has probably been asked dozens of times already, but I just don't want to search.
The latest issue of VBPJ (Now called "Visual Studio Magazine") has an article about combining VB6 and VB.Net. The article seems to indicate, though they don't say specifically, that you can run VB.Net and VB6 on the same machine at the same time. Is this indeed possible? I have a lot of code that I would like to migrate, but I need to retain the ability to maintain the code in VB6 until the migration is complete.
I know that standard answer is, "I wouldn't if I were you.", but I need a definite answer from someone who is currently running both platforms on the same machine (without dual boot, that is).

If you are coming from C++, take a look at C# (one of the .NET languages). You will find a GREAT DEAL of commnality between C++ and C#.

As far as migrating code, perhaps "migrating" isn't the correct word but will have to suffice. I'm sure it will be like recoding C++ to VB, which I have done in the past. Very tedious, but the result will be worth while.
I presume (almost) all the third-party controls will still work? (Yeah, I know this is another question, so never mind :) )
