How to Convert From VB6
VB.NET has several libraries included by the latest Microsoft VB upgrade. The Visual Studio software in which VB.NET is created includes a conversion wizard, so you can convert older VB code to VB.NET. The tool converts the old VB library references to the VB.NET libraries and changes older VB syntax to newer standards. When you open a VB6 project in Visual Studio, the software detects the old code and prompts you to convert the program.
