Hi all,
I am trying to convert a VB 6 application to VB.NET 2005 using the wizard.
It has over 20 forms and I've used Option Explicit everywhere, hence
variables are properly declared and used. I also made sure that there was no
design time (ItemData) listings in the list. However, when I try to convert
to .NET, two things happen:
a) It gives me over 5500 errors!! (Many of them include 'could not resolve
type' inspite of explicit declarations)
b) It quits halfway with a message like "An exception has occurred". The
usual Report to MS crops up and at the end of it, I am left with over 5500
baffling errors and a failed attempt at conversion.
My questions are:
a) Is there anything I can do in the existing VB 6 program to ease the
conversion process?
b) Any sites on the web that provide a lot of information on this?
c) Does anybody know why the thing quit halfway through the conversion?
d) This is a live project that I developed an year back and is likely to be
used for a long time to come. Is it necessary that I take the pains to learn
and shift the application to .NET?
If I need to send the report (over 2 MB!!!) please let me know.
Would appreciate any insight into this.
