The myths about Visual Basic migration make it easy to play the “blame” game instead of trying to understand the issue. Often, in making the wrong assumptions, we “write off” some alternatives without even considering them. However, with training, support from automatic migration products and the use of a comprehensive migration methodology, the migration is not only possible using a fraction of the resources required for a rewrite, but it is also the right choice to reduce the Total Cost of Operation and prepare applications to maximize their future business value.

The Patterns and Practices group at Microsoft is working on a VB6 to VB.NET Migration Guide. This guide is “ the bible” of VB migrations and it contains a lot of best practices around how to move applications. I definetely recommend you visit this site to get early access to the guide. ArtinSoft is writing most of the content in the guide so, as always, feedback is highly appreciated!!!
