    Upgrade VB 6 code to VB.NET

    There's this client who has some VB 6 code in an application for PDA development on Windows CE. Now, he needs this code to be converted into VB.NET code.

    I reckon Microsoft has been tauting a host of upgrade tools since yore long before .NET was in beta. I've never touched .NET in real but for reading about it from an arm's length. Is is true that I could simply use an upgrade wizard in the .NET environment (VS.NET) that would take only a few seconds to convert all the VB 6 code to .NET? If it isn't, how do I go about it? What I mean here is that if it isn't, is there some other off-the-shelf component that would do the needful?

    There is nothing simple about it. Learn .NET and re-write. Do not use the converter. It is junk. It cannot convert everything, and much of what it does convert does not convert correctly in many cases.
