Can someone point me in the right direction. I am looking for the fastet and
simplest way of converting a vb6 project, written by someone else (I am
takeing over the project) to C#

You could do a two-step conversion: First open the project in Visual Studio, which will convert it into VB.Net. Then convert the VB.net code into C# by means of the various code converters available, such as the one available from http://www.vbconversions.net/. However, it will still require a lot of manual attention, unless it is a trivial program, since there are many incompatibilities between the laguages involved.
