Do converted .NET applications require a support library?

• All applications generated by VB Migration Partner require that the CodeArchitects.VBLibrary.dll file be deployed with the .NET executable. The support library is essential to support features that have no counterpart in .NET – control arrays and DataEnvironment classes, for example – or that are implemented in a completely different way (graphic methods or data binding, just to name a few). It should be noted that also applications converted with the Upgrade Wizard may require a companion library – more precisely, the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll library – to support features such as control arrays, resource files, and a few controls that have no counterpart under .NET – namely, DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox. We just decided to improve on this concept and created a support library that can account for virtually all the VB6 features that .NET doesn’t support natively.
