VB6 to VB.NET

[Julius Mong]

..NET doesn't do a very good job, and things like App and stuff don't get
converted properly... disappointing... are there other good conversion tools
for that or am I stuck?

Thanx, Jules

Julius,
You are the conversion tool. You may want to learn why each of the changes
were made and you will then know how and why to convert it.
Another thing that won't convert well is ADO commands. That is because
ADO.NET is redesigned from the ground up to be scalable - something classic
ADO is not. For each thing that doesn't convert there is a good reason.
