Re: code convertor in VB.NET Express Edition

yes

imvho, one cannot really talk about "upgrade". It's more like moving
into a totally different universe which
only on the surface has resemblance with vb6. It requires first of all
to "reformat" our mind and start
from designing objects. If one doesn't really realize that, the switch
may be meaningless ...

I've been playing around with VB since version 3. I now have VB6 Learning
Edition. I'm thinking about getting VB.NET Express Edition. I have a lot
of
demo programs for version 3 thru version 6. I realize that the convertor
might not be able to convert the source code on the older demos. I would
have
to open every demo program in version 6 & save it in the VB6 format & then
open the source code in VB.NEt & convert to VB.NET. I've read conflicting
replies about a code convertor being available in the Express Edition. I
don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to get Visual Studio. Does VB.NET
Express Edition have a code convertor or does it not? Thank you.

I do not know if the Express Edition contains the migration wizard, but I
doubt it does. However, it rarely makes sense to upgrade Classic VB /demo
programs/. Instead, it's better to rewrite them in VB.NET.
