I need your guidance to enlighten me on the path to follow on migrating our
(very large) application written in vb6 to vb.net (2005 ed).
Microsoft tech-professionals have assured us that this can be done in a
trice. No problem. I strongly doubt them.
Some links or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
Well it is fairly applicationd ependent .. you might quickly use the
migration tool to migrate the code but I can assure you that you will end up
with a complete rewrite in the long term.

The fact that VB.NET is not truely OO will pretty much force this to happen.

Cheers,

Greg
 
Greg, I hope you meant 'VB 6 is not truely OO' - dont frighten the OP too
much! But you are correct, migrating a large VB6 app is a lot of work - and a
lot of planning

Greg,

Or that you do mean in addition to Guy that VB.Net is truely OOP. VB6 is as
well OO.

Although I have seen lately a complete non OO writen C# program do I agree
with you that a good team will sooner or later go to OOP.
