VB5 to VB6 Migration

Question

what is the best way of migrating VB5 to VB6. which version of Visual Studio helps this and what all precautions/considerations we need to take care before migration. Is there any approach notes available anywhere in internet

Answer 1

For the most part you can think of VB6 as a superset of VB5, there is nothing really to upgrade, just taking advantage of the new functionality. Just open the project in VS6, and you should be good to go.

I would instead try to sell the customer on a VB.Net upgrade. It is not just opening the project and you are done, but it will allow you to have much more powerful tools/environment.
