Star Cars Management Reference App (SCM) WinForms C#

SCMWinForms

About the App

Star Cars Management (SCM) is a reference App create to show some of the migration capabilities of the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion VBUC from Mobilize.Net

This repo contanins the migrated SCM VB6 Version

Building the App

If you want to build this project on your development machine, just check that you match the following requirements:

sdkVersion

You can clone the repository to your machine. From the command line just run:

git clone https://github.com/MobilizeNet/SCMWinForms.git

Or you can download the code by clicking on Download ZIP

NOTE: if you download the code remember to unblock your files. When you download certain files Windows will block then for security and you might get an error like blockedResX

To fix this problem: Open the file explorer. Navigate to project/solution directory Search for *.resx. --> You will get list of resx files Right click the resx file, open the properties and check the option 'Unblock' Repeat #3 for each resx file. Reload the project.

Once you have downloaded the code look for SKS.sln. And open that file. When the solution is open the first thing you need to do is restore packages. One easy way to do is right click on your solution node.

Select the Manage Nuget Packages for Solution... and select that option. From there you can make sure that all nugets are restored.

Once all the nugets have been restore, just rebuild and run.

Some VBUC Features used by this migration

ADODB to System.Data.Common

Converts ADODB to ADO.Net by using the System.Data.Common libraries and some helpers.

Remarks

  • This option converts ADODB to ADO.NET by using helper classes but with a very high automation level.
  • If the VB6 code is using data binding to grids it is also recommended to convert all data grids to .Net components.

General Description:

This solution uses a set of helper objects to provide equivalent behavior in .Net and to encapsulate the ADO.Net machinery required in order to handle a set of data, more specifically for the RecordSet object, which is very powerful and flexible in VB6 and does not have a direct equivalence in .Net. The approach reduces the manual changes effort to achieve functional equivalence.

The usage of System.Data.Common libraries provides the application with the ability to interact with different Database Manager Systems (e.g. SQL Server, Oracle, MS Access, etc) through its ADO.Net 2.0 compliant providers with just a minimal configuration effort and proper dialect changes.

Deployment Note

This feature if needed can be configured using a .Net configuration file containing specific sections. See Example

    MsgBox "No records were returned using the query " & cmdCommand.CommandText
End If

C#

using UpgradeHelpers.DB;
