    Unhappy Should I migrate my VB6.0 project to VB.net

    I have a project written in VB 6.0, just handling business data, with Sybase database.

    But Microsoft seems does not support VS6.0 anymore.

    Should I migrate my project to VB.NET? How much extra efforts should be paid to do this? What are the benefits of VB.net over VB 6.0?

    Your advice is appreciated.

    The pros and cons of VB6 against VB.NET have been discussed and argued at length in several existing threads, plus many places else on the web. There's no need for another. Suffice it to say that VB.NET is the way of the future for VB development if for no other reason that Microsoft say so. If you intend to continue to develop your app then I would suggest that you do upgrade it. If all you'll be doing is the odd bug fix on existing code then there's really no point.
