Visual Basic Discrepancy. HELP!

[TeenPcknowit]

I downloaded the Free VB 2005 Express Edition of visual basic and started a project.

I am picking up on a project which I stopped working on in VB 6.0Ultimately, I NEED to use VB 2005 Express Edition to compile this application.

To give a brief premise, I am making an alarm clock which has been fully functional in VB 6.0.

Here is the bit of code (which works in VB 6.0) that I need help with working in 2005 Express Edition.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(General Declarations)
Dim intTotalSeconds As Integer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
'Compute time and format display
intTotalSeconds = intTotalSeconds + 1
Minutes = Format(intTotalSeconds \ 60, "00")
Seconds = Format(intTotalSeconds Mod 60, "00")
lblClock.Text = Minutes & ":" & Seconds
End Sub


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem is...I cannot (to my knowledge) declare a variable in general declarations in VB 2005 Express Edition! Please Help.

The only other thing that is not true for both sets of code in each VB version is:

"Private Sub timSleep_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timSleep.Tick"

Is the private sub statement in VB 2005.

Good news!
I placed the declaration under the:
Public Class FrontEnd

(as I had tried before)

Then I realizsed that I was operating on a _tick event in VB 2005...as opposed to the _Timer that was default in VB 6.0.

:]

Foolish me.

For the same effect, you can use a Module. Just put a public declaration inside the Module open and close:

Public intMyInt as Integer
Public strMyString as String
