A recreation of the classic Visual Basic 6 IDE and language written in C# using the Avalonia UI framework. It supports a visual designer, VB6-compatible project files, and running projects with limited VB6 language support, available as a desktop app or in the browser.

Use cases

  • run classic Visual Basic 6 projects on modern operating systems
  • try the VB6 IDE in a browser without installing anything
  • edit VB6 forms with a visual designer
  • load and save VB6-compatible project files
  • learn how the classic VB6 IDE worked
  • build simple VB6-style apps cross-platform

When to choose

  • you want a nostalgic or educational recreation of the VB6 development experience
  • you need to open or run simple VB6 projects on Linux, macOS, or in a browser
  • you want a free, open-source, MIT-licensed VB6-like IDE

When to avoid

  • you need full, production-grade VB6 language compatibility
  • you are maintaining legacy VB6 business applications that require exact runtime behavior
  • you need commercial support or guaranteed correctness
