VB 6.0 program in Visual Studio .NET?

[ank20]

I’m considering getting Visual Studio .Net, however I currently have programs written in 6.0. and web apps written in classic ASP. In your experience, will Visual Studio .Net be able to support Visual Basic 6.0 programming? I mean, can I still program VB 6.0 with Visual Studio .NET How about classic ASP? Any comments you may have is greatly appreciated !

You can have VB 6 and VB.NET installed on the same PC with no problems, but your project will be one or the other, not both.

You can upgrade your VB 6.0 program using the upgrade wizard provided in VB.NET. It converts 80% of your VB 6.0 code into VB.NET and you have to change the remaining code.

and you have to change the remaining code. and the nice thing is that .net will provide a "to-do" list of exceptions that couldn't be converted, allowing you to fix the remaining bits of code. :)
