eramgarden Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I had an interview and the company is upgrading their code. They said they have a VB6 application with 400+ Forms and they're thinking about upgrading to ASP.Net/VB.Net.. How do you go about doing this?? any thoughts? I was thinking mapping out the functions and just go page by page..But seems like a huge task. Quote
kahlua001 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I would start by identifying any reusable code and breaking them into user controls. If these forms are reports then look into sql server's reporting services. Quote
eramgarden Posted April 20, 2005 Author Posted April 20, 2005 "reusable code?".. you mean code that could be taken from VB6 and put in .net? I asked them and they said it's not for reporting. Going back for a second interview and just wanted to get a better idea... Quote
kahlua001 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I was more thinking portions of the forms you see being use over and over. You could encapsulate them into user controls and reuse, like a customer object, but with a form attached to it. Quote
Mister E Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I believe there are tools available that will translate VB6 code into VB.NET code. I have no clue as to how well they work, but I'm sure there would be some tweaking involved. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted April 22, 2005 Moderators Posted April 22, 2005 The time it takes to tweak translated code I would re-write the application from the ground up. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
