Except for the simplest of code, the upgrade wizard that comes with .NET
doesn't work very well.  In other words, for complex applications it's
not that compatible.

In most cases, I would probably rewrite most of my production VB6
applications in VB.NET, but only if there was some advantage to it. I
would never in any case use the upgrade wizard to do this for me.

In general, I will not take the time to simply upgrade VB6 code to
VB.NET just for the sake of updating the program to a new language. The
upgrade to VB.NET isn't simply a change of language, but to use it most
powerfully, you have to rethink the whole application from the
beginning.

Hi Kim

How compatible is the VB6 code with the .NET code.  I've got a trail
copy - quickly went the other day and fetched one at our local microsoft
offices.

Jimmy,

   I would recommend actually using it or playing around with it. I'm
not sure if Microsoft still does this, but for a limited time they had a
trial (30 day) version of .NET available for download on their site.
From my limited personal experience, I have found that VB.NET actually
helps me develop database applications in about half or 3/4 of the time
it took me with VB 6.0.  Also, with webforms, I can quickly port most of
my winform applications to the web, which is something that isn't easily
done using VB 6.0 and ASP.

I am sorry that this is not related to the question....but I keep
reading and hearing about ".NET".... what is the best way to learn and
become somewhat experienced using ".NET" thanks
