I'm confused. This looks like something new since it says "Specific to .NET Framework 3.0" and there are no descriptions, but then I found some really old posts on forums that mentioned this.

I usually get all my answers from MSDN, but it doesn't say anything about this namespace.

1) Are the functions old VB6 functions?
2a) I don't imagine that it'll be recommended to use anything in this namespace. I'd probably get the "That is legacy. Do it .NET and use this" response. So, what is the purpose of this namespace and why now?
2b) Does this have something to do with conversion?

Somebody set me straight.
