Hello!

My company have a project created with VB3 and is thinking about upgrading it to C#. Yes, that's right C#.

While I'm aware of the difficulties to update from VB6 to VB.Net (after that, to convert to C# will be a syntax question only), my concerns are on how to do the upgrade from VB3 to VB6.

Should I move to from VB3 -> VB4 -> VB5 and then VB6? I'm wondering if anybody had the same problem, and how the best way to solve it.

Thanks!

I just stumbled across a free VB 3 to VB 6 conversion tool at:

You might give it a try.

To be honest the differences in the language between VB4, 5 and 6 are negligable - the easiest thing to do will be to use VB6 to load up your VB3 program, and just work through it from there.

Most of the algorithmic code should work without any major problems - it is the user interface that will cause the problems as VB3 used different components from 4,5 and 6
