Just to be clear, there are 2 different scenarios.
1) VB6 compiler installed on a machine that has the .NET framework installed as well
- this should work fine with VB6 code
2)
VB .NET compiler installed (not VB6 compiler) while trying to work with VB6 code
- due to the large number of changes made the the
VB language with the transition to .NET, you will likely end up with more errors than usable code even after using the builtin conversion process
- after the conversion process you will have to go over the existing code with a fine tooth comb to make sure it meets the coding requirements of
VB .NET b/c they are very different than VB6 and the converter will not be able to catch all of those changes for existing VB6 code
