    Hi

    I have been given the task of converting a VB project into JAVA.

    What is the best way of doing this, should I get an application to do this?

    Also within the VB project is a thrid party control (Graphics server) which does all the graphing for the application, will this convert as well or will I need a JAVA version of the control?

    Thanks in advance

    Geoff

    I have seen a program for converting VB to Java a while ago. I don't remember where. But the name is VB2JAVA.

    I think I have to say that the best bet is to actually rewrite it in Java. At the same time as porting it, you will see new ways of doing things. Also, you can take advantage of the OOP stuff.

    And no, your control won't convert.

    I tried an addin to VB that was supposed to convert VB to Java "effortlessly" but mostly it left me with almost useless code and a list of things it couldn't convert. Plus I had to reinstall VB to get it working properly again after uninstalling the addin.
