Is it possible to open vb 6.0 files in....

Is it possible to open like form files or vbproject files from vb 6.0 in .net?
Because I have a vb 6.0 project and i need to edit it but
now i have .net

Visual Basic.Net will try and convert the VB 6.0 code to .net code, but there are way to many differences for it to be worth while. I have found that coding in VB.net uses much less code. I have taken my vb 6.0 code and manually converted it to .Net code. My advice is start over and convert it.

You can have both VS.Net and VS 6 on the same system without any problems. This means you can continue supporting your VB6 programs with VB 6, and do new development in .Net.

I have converted a few applications just to test the overall functionality... The upgrade wizard will do it's best to support everything from VB6 but certain things will cause problems or will not function properly from my experience. If you expand the code, it will actually tell you exactly what problems arose during the upgrade and how they were handled if at all... I suggest taking something simple and converting it just to see what vb.net does before attempting to do it with an important application.

if you convert a VB6 project to .NET most of your code will work, but some problems will occur with solme code that wasn't "translated" properly. You'll have to spend a lot of time adjusting your code. It copuld be easier to reprogram your code in the .Net

If you used user controls in your VB6 project, you will not be able to convert. So you should delete your user object in your VB6 project before converting. I believe it's possible to add your controls again in the .NET but i'm not certain. i just noticed that it wasn't possible to convert them
