I am proud to announce that today ArtinSoft released version 4.0 Beta of its flagship product the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion.

This new release once more collects our learnings from migrating millions and millions of lines of code from Visual Basic 6 to VB.NET and C#. 

This release revolves around a number of themes:

1) Visual Studio 2010 compatibility: You can now use the VBUC to create projects that are compatible with Visual Studio 2010.

2) Take advantage of new framework features: The code generated by the VBUC now takes advange of some advanced features of the .NET Framework to improve the quality of the code avoiding dependencies to any third party runtime.

3) Compatibility with Windows 7 and 64 bits system: The platform is evolving and the VBUC is evolving along with it.  Now the VBUC is compatible with Win XP, Vista and 7 on both 32 and 64 bits systems.

4) Impoved usability: We are trying to minimize the learning curve to start a VB migration project. There will be even more changes in this theme for the next release. (I am specially excited about this!) 

Please read our official press release, learn the specifics of version 4.0 or give it a try!
