Re: Change from vb6 to vb.net

Raymond,
If you are going from VB6 to Windows Forms I would second the recommendation for http://www.vbmigration.com/. They have WPF support planned for later this year (http://www.vbmigration.com/faq.aspx#wpf)

If you are going from VB6 to ASP.NET be ready to rewrite your entire UI. I would question this decision and instead suggest converting to any of (in order of consideration):
- Silverlight 2.0 app (Silverlight 2.0 is currently in beta).
- WPF browser app
- Windows Forms click once app
- WPF click once application

If you have your business & data logic separate (class libraries) from your UI, then you should be able to use vbmigration partner to migrate those class libraries.

Dear All,

I have the vb6 program. I am planning to convert this to be vb.net and asp.net 2.0 program. I think I need to recreate all forms but as to class modules, modules code and designer in which how can I convert them to be vb.net common functions or others and crystal reports or .net reports? Any suggestions???

I am using vs 2005 with asp.net 2.0 and on sql server 2000 and windows 2000 server.

Any ideas are welcome.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
