VB6 to VB.Net Migration

[neeraja]

Are there any tools to migrate an application developed in vb 6 using ADO into VB.Net and ADO.Net. The whole of .VBP has to be converted.

I don't beleive there is something that will perform this task flawless even there is many tools that claims opposite than me.
Actually VS.NET offers a tool for the purpose but i found it very unuseful in deeds. Give it a try but i suspect final result ... very odd. Also, i found that the best method to convert vb6 code to .NET is manual conversion (there is not much work if you know both language except the time that you should spend for typing)
If you still want to try Conversion tool that comes with VS.NET ... File -> Open -> Convert ... the rest of steps are predictable just follow the VB Upgrade Wizard

Cheers

The best converter is the human coder. I don't recommend the VS converter.... Even the guys that built it don't recommend it. And it doesn't do a true conversion. It will convert what it can, then wraps interop wrappers around the rest (especialy true if it's a DB app using ADO.)

From the people I've heard, in the amount of time it takes to clean up what the converter screws up, the app could have been rewritten from scratch.
