==Visual Studio help==

I do projects in version 6, mostly in Visual Basic 6. I used to have all three CDs of MSDN but it's been so long that they have literally lost all their shine. I find it to work very difficult without 'em. Can anyone please tell me how does one get them ?  Jon Ascton  (talk) 17:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

:{{ping|Jon Ascton}} We are not allowed to link to torrent sites. Microsoft does offer some [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa662927 useful free downloads for VB6], but MSDN is not among them. It is [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338032(VS.60).aspx available online though]. If you are an MSDN subscriber then you can use [http://www.kimgentes.com/worshiptech-web-tools-page/2014/9/18/finding-downloading-and-installing-msdn-library-for-vb6-on-m.html this guide] to download and install it.
