I have a VB application. Clients wanted to convert that to a .net application. I would like to go ahead and convert that to C# windows application. But I am not sure on challenges that I will be facing.
One method is to just understand the VB code and rewrite all the modules in C# or VB .net
The other way that I am not aware of is the tool based conversion.
May I know how you would approach with such conversion? What type of tools you would prefer for conversion and challenges that you might face?
For simplicity lets assume that we are going to convert a simple VB to a VB .net or c# windows application.
Would you prefer VB to VB.net conversion or VB to C# conversion. Even if you can answer this question in parts I would appreciate it.
You could to take a look into this article, it’s worth reading as a warm up: Converting VB6 to VB.NET, Part I
My advice is to translate just pieces your user actually uses, adding new features as he/she demands.
