EDIT 2: The project has been moved to CodePlex. NOTE: The old site will still be online, it just won't be updated anymore. Besides, the new site has only the most recent (R3) release.

EDIT: Release 3 has been published. Go grab it now!

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to tell you about a tool I've been working on about 3 weeks ago, and released today:
VB6 To WPF Project Migration Aid Tool (http://vb62wpf.codeplex.com/)
This tool will read classes, modules, forms, user controls, and even ActiveX documents created in Visual Basic 6, and map them to recognizable XAML & code-behind files for Windows Presentation Foundation, for Visual Studio 2008 (or later).
Of course, it's by no means a complete migration solution; the files generated need to be modified in order to do something useful with them. Yet, the labor of converting forms & controls to XAML done by this tool, it is quite good, if I may say so :) .
You can download the tool here: VB62WPF - Release 3 (http://vb62wpf.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=35661#DownloadId=91904)
Source code is available as well, here: VB62WPF - Release 3 - Source (http://vb62wpf.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=35661#DownloadId=91905)
The project is available under MIT licensing, so feel free to do (almost) anything you want with it.
And, of course, any comments & suggestions are welcome!
