DTS pkg VB6 to VB.Net problems - Sql Srv2000

[Rich]

Hello,

I created a DTS package VB6 script with DTS from Sql
Server 2000. In a vb.net project I add a reference to
Microsoft DTSpackage object library and copy the code from
the DTS script to a module in the vb.net project. The
following lines of code are a few of the lines with syntax
issues and the description of the issue (below that is the
sub (DTSrun) that these lines came from). My request is
if someone could explain how to fix the syntax (I'm just
trying to save a few hours of hacking from picking
whatever from the dropdown lists until something works).
Plus, some of the messages are suggesting an Interface
problem - do I need to implement some kind of interface?
(I appologize in advance for my ignorance)

Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Compare Binary

Imports DTS
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Module ModDTS

Public goPackageOld As New DTS.Package
Public goPackage As DTS.Package2

Public Sub DTSrun()

goPackage = goPackageOld <----- prob here

-->Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from
DTS.Package to DTS.Package2
....

goPackage.TransactionIsolationLevel = 4096 <---- prob

-->Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from
Integer to DTS.DTSIsolationLevel
....

oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Mode") = 1 <--- prob

-->Interface 'DTS.OleDBProperties' cannot be indexed
because it has no default properties
-->what Interface do I need to implement for this?
....

The DTS script works fine in VB6. So I suppose an
alternative would be to compile this to an exe and call it
from my vb.net project. Should I use shell or what is the
best way to call the exe from the .net proj?

Thanks,
