Keys To Successful VB6 Migration

Dispelling App Dev Professionals' Fear, Uncertainty, And Doubt

by Jeffrey S. Hammond

with Tom Pohlmann, Phil Murphy, Jacqueline Stone


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Application development professionals reveal fear, uncertainty, and doubt when dealing with strategies and timelines for migrating Visual Basic 6 (VB6) apps to Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) 2005. The end of support for the VB6 IDE means that application development professionals need to triage their applications to decide whether to migrate, rewrite, or replace them. With proper preparation, a phased approach, and a bit of experienced help, migration can be relatively painless. Developers will find post-migration applications to be more manageable and maintainable due to the improved .NET Framework and VB.NET's new capabilities.
