Common issues when upgrading code from VB6 to VB.NET


About common issues when upgrading code

In the upgrade phase, developers use the Microsoft Visual Studio's Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard to auto-translate code from the VB6 to VB .NET language. Once the Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard has completed, developers can fix compiler errors and warning messages, and modify various project level settings.
This section in the software development kit (SDK) provides specific examples ArcGIS developers face on how to overcome issues that are not auto-translated correctly when upgrading from VB6 to VB .NET. This section includes topics to assist developers in fixing compiler errors and understanding warning messages for code that is auto-translated from VB6 to VB .NET.
