I have a rather extensive project in eVB 3.0, which I wish to migrate to
..NET CF. Is there an automated way of doing this? Any recommended tools? Any
pitfalls?

Thank you.
 
Hej Frederik

Hvis du finder et vil jeg meget gerne høre om det.

Unfortunately there aren't any real migration options. Apart from some
fairly simple code, you will have to do a lot of the programming again. This
is valid also if you decides to go with vb.NET.
I think I have heard about some app that could port the visible controls to
new .NET forms, but that's about it.
Try googling for port or migrate. This question has been asked fairly often
here and in the group.

Consulting newsgroups and searching the net, in particulair microsoft.com, I
have found two tools that can support the migration process from eVB to .NET
CF. GUI Innovations (www.gui-innovations.com), as mentioned by Pete Vickers,
has a tool for converting eVB forms to .NET. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
provides a build-in tool for converting VB6 code to VB.NET code. This is
useful as eVB is a subset of VB.

The best migration strategy available, as I see it, is to use the tool from
GUI Innovation to convert forms and then base a new .NET project around the
converted forms and previous eVB code. This will lead to multiple
compilation errors until the code is adjusted to .NET syntax.

It is by far a trivial task but its a great alternative to rewrite the whole
project.
