There's this client who has some VB 6 code in an application for PDA development on Windows CE. Now, he needs this code to be converted into VB.NET code.

I reckon Microsoft has been touting a host of upgrade tools since yore long before .NET was in beta. I've never touched .NET in real but for reading about it from an arm's length. Is is true that I could simply use an upgrade wizard in the .NET environment (VS.NET) that would take only a few seconds to convert all the VB 6 code to .NET? If it isn't, how do I go about it? What I mean here is that if it isn't, is there some other off-the-shelf component that would do the needful?

The upgrade wizard will upgrade anything that CAN be upgraded but there are certian things that just aren't done the same in .NET. My experience has been that re-writing applications "the .NET way" is the way to go.
