I know that the application was written a long time ago, using
Microsoft Visual Studio.

My question is: How to find out what version of MS Visual Studio was
used. I know it wasn't 2005 or 2003. Anybody know if there was
something like MS-VS2000? or was this known as VB6?

The first VS .NET version was VS 2002. It compiled for the .NET Framework
1.0. Then came VS 2003 for .NET 1.1 and VS 2005 for .NET 2.0.

Also, if you have any tips on upgrading older sources to later version
of MS-Visual Studio, I'd certainly like to hear them.

If you have the project file, you can open it in VS 2003 or 2005 and
compile it. By default, these versions will add a configuration file that
forces the application to run under at least their .NET version (1.1 for VS
2003 or 2.0 for VS 2005). If you still want your application to be able to
run under .NET 1.0 when compiled with VS 2003 or 2005, go to the project
settings and change the Supported Runtime property (if you make
modifications to the code though, you should make sure that you do not use
any new classes/methods introduced in newer versions of the framework).
