VS 6.0 C++ code imported to MS VS 2003 or above for rebuilding projects

Which one and can it be done taking VS 6.0 C++ code and bringing it into one of the new VS 2xxx versions? We would like not to recode at this time and just import/rebuild under the newer environments. Any problems with doing this? thanks

Highly unlikely. Unless you already had some real clean (i.e., compliant) C++ code, there'll be code changes.

Is there a guide of what to look at first and common things to change? Any documentation form MS on this or other guides? thanks again
The most important issues deals with template and partial specialization. Pay special attention to the use of the
typenamekeyword, and to the way parameter lists are declared while reusing template declarations, since some scope rule are different.2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:

I suspect what you'll likely run into will be Unicode and deprecation issues.
