Hi,

I used to program in Visual Basic 6.0 and until I gave up computer programming in 2007 and have only got back in to it this year. Now, since school stopped teaching vb.net we've be learning c# and that got me thinking is it possible to convert a program written in a language such as vb6.0 into vb.net or c# code without having to rewrite all the code from scratch?

I have been doing some research on the subject and some companies claim to have tools that assist in the conversion of code from one language to another, one such company I found is Great Migrations.

The above site talks about the methodology they use in order to achieve the results for their client. Well, rewriting the code seems like a hassle when converting from VB6 to .Net but I guess they do more than have the codes for both vb6.0, etc and by trial and error match to corresponding net equivalent?

Also, Is there a lot involved in converting between the .net languages?

This is something I found interesting and I know little about the subject because I might need to upgrade my program code, etc in the future.

Thanks,



Nightwalker
