How to Convert VB6 to VB 2010


1. Click the Windows 'Start' button and select 'All Programs.' Click 'Microsoft .NET 2010,' then click 'Visual Studio 2010' to open the software.
2. Click the 'File' menu item. Click 'Open,' and in the sub-menu of options, click 'Convert.' Double-click the VB6 project file in the dialog window to start the wizard.
3. Click 'Visual Basic .NET Upgrade Wizard' in the list of options. Click 'Next' in the first welcome window.
4. Select 'EXE' from the file type window. If the VB6 project is a DLL, choose 'DLL' instead and click 'Next.' The conversion window begins the upgrade.
5. Click 'OK' in the confirmation window. You can review the code changes in the files after the conversion wizard runs. Click 'Run' to execute the new code in the VB.NET debugger.
