    Hi guys Can anyone guide me to a tool that converts vb6 code to vb.net, it's a an access db application, and I was wondering whether it'll make it slower or not? Thanks

      This is already built into Visual Studio .NET. All you need to do is open Visual Studio, then click File->Open->Project. Navigate to the .VBP project file you want to convert and click Open.

          No converter is going to convert everything properly. You WILL have to do some editing and the conversion tool lets you know this by putting comments into the code and generating a conversion report. And as far as I know, this is the ONLY product that will convert your VB6 code to VB.NET. But, IMHO, the best method for code conversion, by far, is to rewrite it yourself...

            Microsoft(R) guys have already provided you with such a tool in .NET development environment itself. Go to Tools on the menu :) Luckyhuss

              hi, when u open a VB6 project file (*.vbp) in DotNet IDE, the migration utility for conversion popps up... just follow the instructions..... finally it will generate a list of errors or code which it was unable to convert into VB.NET... for that some perticular help is also provided... by just following those steps u can get ur work done... all the best....:) - thanks and regards, Basavaraj P.Umadi
