vb6 to vb.net

[Wagon]

I have an old vb6 application that I would like to convert to .net.
It had a number (ie A LOT) of for loops that start at 1 instead of 0.
Is there a program that can help me automate the processs of rewring
them to make them VB.Net compatibile?

VS.NET 2003 has an Upgrade Wizard built-in.

File->Open->Convert

You example really doesn't make sense. Your "for loops" can still start at
1 in the .NET world. :^)

Maybe the OP used the loops to iterate over 1-based arrays.

Perhaps. If that turns out being his biggest problem upgrading his program
to VB.NET god bless him. :^)

Wagon,
In addition to the other comments.

This blog entry recently showed up.

I have not used the "VB Migration Assessment Tool" mentioned in the above
blog, however I have used the older "Code Advisor for Visual Basic 6"

I would recommend you use the Code Advisor/Migration Assessment tool first.
Make any changes needed.

Then use the Upgrade Wizard second.


FWIW: I have not fully reviewed the above articles.
