In Visual Basic 6.0, the ScaleMode property can be used to change the coordinate system for a form or PictureBox control from the default scale of twips. Visual Basic .NET does not support multiple coordinate systems; all measurements must be expressed in pixels. When you upgrade a project to Visual Basic .NET, the upgrade wizard automatically converts the design-time coordinates of visual components from twips to pixels. Code that sets the ScaleMode property at run time will cause a compilation error and must be manually modified. The upgrade wizard also uses upgraded methods in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace to upgrade run-time modifications of a control’s position.
