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. We'll explore everything related to VB6 migration in this blog.

• Visual Basic Upgrade Guide now ready for download!

  The Visual Basic Upgrade Guide produced by the Patterns and Practices group at Microsoft and authored mainly by ArtinSoft consultants can now be downloaded in its integraf form from GOTDOTNET (http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/directory.aspx enter the VB6 to VB.NET migration guide gallery). You can also download the Visual Basic Assessment tool that will help you understand the effort required in a migration and it will also help you with the planning of a migration project. I'd like to hear your comments.  Is this new tool/guidance useful?  Are you looking at migration projects with a different perspective? Early feedback is very encouraging!   Posted Oct 19 2005, 01:33 AM by Fzoufaly with no comments
