    Angry VB6 - .NET Migration problems....

    Hi, I need your help guys!!

    Yesterday I was trying to migrate a VB6 project to VB.NET but I found that .NET automatically changes my code and populate the Task List Window with all my trouble code.

    The thing is that my project is a 5MG size and has a lot of code to be reviewed, so I just wonder if it's possible to disable the Task List Window in order to make the changes by myself (every time I fix a problem in my "upgraded code", the Task List populates again making the upgrading process a hell )

    I hope anybody knows the answer!!

    PS: The project has 30 classes and 10 modules (I want to open the whole project in .NET, not upgrade it by class)

    Thanks!!

    You probably wont like this suggestion, but it is what I and many others tell people trying to upgrade HUGE VB6 apps to .NET.

    Either keep it in VB6 or re-write it in .NET. Upgrading something that big is too much trouble. Dont just upgrade just because you have .NET...if it works in VB6, no sense in changing that.
    "If it is not broken, dont fix it!"

    That is the best advice I can give you.

    yeah the upgrade wizard is pretty good for small apps but big apps cause it alot of problems, and it does some weird code changes to the code you have.

    I agree with Cander. Just because Microsoft created the Migration tool that doesn't mean you have to use it. This is a great time to take the opportunity to reengineer your applications to take advantage of the new features provided by .NET
