VB6-to-.NET migration: myths, truths, and real-world experience

Microsoft official support for VB6 has expired in March 2009, yet there are many billions lines of VB6 code waiting to be converted to VB.NET. Many companies have postponed this step, but it’s now time to take a decision. Should they convert their code with the help of a tool or rewrite everything from scratch? What about converting to a language other than VB.NET? In this informal talk we will discuss all the available options and talk about some real-world migrations.

    My vote is for Francesco Balena.

    As one programmer with over 300,000 lines of code to maintain, rewritting is not an option. I have been improving and enhancing the code for over 10 years, and figure it would probably take at least a year or two to do the conversion.

    In my opinion without being original codes fully disturbed,a part of code may be experimented to VB.NET format and show the world for positiveness and fast working and more advantages over the transformation into VB.NET formatting, and the unanimous seeking votes would be better.I am having least knowledge, than any developer in this field, since, asked, i replied my views.But if people at large if voting for the desired conversions, I am with them.Thanks
