Yesterday I blogged about the Code Advisor, that will pinpoint common programming practices that difficult the migration of a VB6 application. Well, another very important tool that you can add to your arsenal is the Visual Basic 6.0 Upgrade Assessment Tool. This tool was developed by ArtinSoft, and creates a spreadsheet with detailed information of actual upgrade issues that will be present in the .NET code after the migration.

This tool is also a free download from Microsoft’s website. You can also check out ArtinSoft Visual Basic to .NET page for more information on upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications.
