How to open visual basic 6 program with visual studio.net

Question

I want to open a program (written in Visual basic 6) to be open in Visual Studio.net. Please guide, how could I do that?

While trying to open VB6 (.vbp file) program directly from the OPEN project option in visual studion.net, I was getting this error,

"Visual Basic 6 (.vbp) files cannot be opened in Visual Studio"

Answer 1

I am trying to open in VS 2010.

Visual Studio 2010 does not support VB6 projects. See the link here

From the msdn documentation:

Visual Studio 2010 does not provide tools for upgrading applications and projects from Visual Basic 6.0. If you want to upgrade your project from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010, you can use the upgrade tools provided with earlier versions of Visual Studio and then upgrade the project again in Visual Studio 2010.
