    From Olaf Helper answer :

    "In 2005 I tried to migrate one VB6 project to VB.NET 2.0; believe me, the result isn't the efforts worth. Rewrite the application from scratch in .NET."

    There is no easy way of doing this. VB.Net is completely different to the VB6 programming language.

    If you must convert then it is probably better to completely rewrite the application.
