Upgrading VB 6.0 to VB.Net

[Guest]

I have been looking to upgrade my VB6.0 Professional to VB.Net. Have not been able to figure out exactly what to look for either on-line or in a store. I have VB 6.0 but do not need to convert any old programs. I am taking a course in college in VB.Net, and would like to have a version that will allow me to make executable programs instead of the version that comes with the course book.

I heard there is a Microsoft product that does that upgrade, but have not been able to find it in the local stores. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not aware of any "upgrade" software to take your VB 6.0 software and
turn it into VB.NET.

..NET runs on the .NET Framework (free), so that must be installed on the
system first. After that, you need to purchase a .NET development tool
(VS.NET).

VB 6.0 and VB.NET can coexist on a system without problems.

In the right column you will find more info on upgrading:

There is an upgrade wizard included in VS.NET 2003 Professional or
better which will upgrade existing VB6 projects to VB.NET.
