Moved to project requests. You're likely to get better responses in here.

Re: convert vb6 program to vb.net
Are you asking someone to do it for you? Or what it would take for you to do it yourself?
Either way, it depends a lot on the complexity of the code, components used, experience of the developer... it could be a day, it could be a week. Could be more, could be less.

Re: convert vb6 program to vb.net
Type of code is also important.
Does the VB6 program do a lot of vb6 type graphics, or is it primarily database? Does it use VB6 native file functions, etc.
The .Net way of doing graphics within the forms or controls is a completely different paradigm. It is preferred to use .Net file functions, rather than VB6 compatible file functions.
I can't speak for a program that is mostly database related, i.e. data entry or report generation, etc... as I don't do database programing in VB6 or VB.Net.

yes it is certainly be database related , it is a sports arbitrage trading program , it parses data from 22 sportsbooks and saves it to a data base for future work from the software , thanks for your time , don rees

Re: convert vb6 program to vb.net
Working with databases changed considerably, as well.
In general, converting VB6 to VB.NET is fairly simple, as most functions can be copied and pasted between the two with minimal changes (some datatypes should be changed). However, anything that works with databases should be re-thought. The way that VB6 worked with databases wasn't all that great, and there were at least three different technologies in use (DAO, RDO, then ADO). With VB.NET, it's all ADO.NET, which isn't all that similar to ADO, despite sharing most of an acronym.
In a 1500 line program that uses databases, I would guess that between one third and one half will be completely re-written from scratch (all the database part), and the rest may be a simple conversion.

Re: convert vb6 program to vb.net
hi thank you greatly for the reply , a very sensible and welcome one . regarding the database , using another one is not a problem , of the 22 sportsbooks that should be being parsed / scanned and saved to a DB , probably 75% have to be re-parsed and the data saved.
if i could ask , the one third / one half to be completely re-written, is it possible for an approximate number of hours to re-write 500 /750 lines , very approx would be fine ?? take care in these troubled times , don rees

With out seeing the code, that's not possible. As previously stated: it depends. Is the data scraped? Or is it obtained through an API?
You're asking us to scope a project that isn't even ours, that we know virtually nothing about.
