If I have a major application written in VC++ 6 how easy (or difficult) is it to transport that to .NET?

Depends what you mean by "transport it". Do just wish to rebuild with the 7.x compiler, or do you wish to take full advantage of the .NET framework? If the former, then you could simply convert the project, build, and see what happens. If the latter, I'm sure MS has written at least a handful of articles to help guide one wishing to tackle such a task...
