In these three years we at Code Architects work very hard to study, discover, analyze, dissect, and devise workarounds for the huge set of differences between VB6 and VB.NET.

We put all this knowledge into our VB Migration Partner, of course. But we thought it was fair to make this information available to the many VB6 developers who still have one or more apps to convert, regardless of whether they would buy our software.

Yesterday we more than doubled the amount of material freely available on vbmigration.com, and in fact we decided to split this knowledge in two pages:

The control page currently lists the differences between VB6 built-in controls (forms, textboxes, labels, buttons, etc.) and their Windows Forms counterparts. We plan to cover the remaining controls - such Windows Common Controls, RichTextBox, etc. - in the near future. Stay tuned!
