Has anyone used Artinsoft’s tool? Its been around for a while.
http://www.newcode.com have migration software tool that is regarded as being superior. There is a free trial too for VB6 to C#, vb.net or Java.

I found this http:\\www.artinsoft.com. They have great company references. I think I’ll ask for a trial.
Any other tools?

Hi Robert

If you try Google, you’ll find a few solutions, but most of the good ones are commercial applications. You’ll probably have to rewrite your app anyways, as C# follows object oriented programming much more strictly than VB6 did. VB6 even didn’t support most of the OO features.

Hi. I’m interested in migration from VB6 to C#.
I’ve seen some solutions for VB6 to VB.NET, but I don’t like VB.NET I want C#.
Could you give me any pointers?

IBM Alphaworks posted a tool called “Code Migration Planning and Assessment Workbench for Visual Basic” at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/compass?

It can produce code metrics for a VB6 app, migration estimation metrics for a rewrite effor, and port the forms to the Eclipse RCP. I haven’t put any of our projects through it yet, but I’m going to give it a shot in just a bit.
