Re: Why convert a VB6 desktop ap to Dot Net?

Let me ask a few related questions:

How would you make an intelligent decission about the wisdom of
converting a desktop app from VB6 to dot net?

When does MS stop supporting VB6, and when that happens, what exactly
does it mean?

What would be the advantages of converting this year rather than next
year?

Would it make sense to wait for dot net 3.0? When is it supposed to
come out?
