What should I know (or learn) to migrate my apps from VB 6 to VB.NET?
Do you have same code examples, to show the differences?
Thanks.

I don't think there is any quick answer. You are going to need to learn VB.NET. The more you know of it then the more optimized for it you can program. When switching things over from vb6 you'll probably be rewriting most of the app.
Doesnt VB.net have a migrator that converts VB apps to VB.net apps and comments out any unconcertable code? I hear it works pretty well too.
I would only rate the vb6 import wizard thing 'Ok' at best. Its not so bad really but to really take advantage of .NEt you'd have to change the 'way' it does things not just convert the syntax, otherwise why convert it. For instance you should take into consideration things like threading and inheritance or datasets.
