The automatic conversion process is not a viable alternative for anything but the most simple of applications.
As suggested above, it is probably a good time for you to learn to program in
VB.NET or C#. One alternative is to hire someone who already has the skills to do the porting, and work with them closely as they rewrite tha applications. This will be a good learning process for you.
Good luck.
