converting windows forms (VB6) to .NET individually

[Wally Pipp]

I'm trying to convert an old project to the .NET 2003 environment. Sadly the crappy upgrade wizard hangs during conversion. Is there a way to convert old VB6 forms individually to .NET forms without having to run the wizard?

If there was nobody would be using the upgrade wizard or recode their entire project, I realise that... but on the off-chance, is there a way any of you know? :hopeful:

better code it in .Net mate.

You have to study .NET and try to remake your vb6 apps to .NET just like some vb6 developer did. Namely Robdogg888..etc..

I don't really have the time to code it or team members to give it out to. You know how it is.

Ah well... could use the overtime

The wizard can take AGES to convert some projects, especially if they have stupid things like VB6's pseudo "control arrays".

Did you give it long enough?

Welcome to the dark side.

I wish it was just that. Here he simply hangs with the generic M$ bullcrap message that the parsing was halted for the reason du jour.

The upgrade wizard to convert your vb6 code will never do a 100% job. It is at best, as stated by MS, a 95% conversion. Either way you need to do allot of work. No easy way around it.

You can spend 20 hours fixing the conversion for ex. or spend 30 hours rewritting i in pure .net code. I'll always take the rewrite since it will end up better and with less bugs.
