I am using VS 2019. Can VB6 code be migrated to VB.Net and be opened in VS 2019?
I wasn't able to open VB6 in VS 2019 as it is not supported. I tried to download interop forms tool kit but it is not available .
Let me know if any other tools helps in migrating VB6 to VB.Net and opened in VS 2019. Thanks.

Do the tools like mobilize.net can help us in converting the VB6 to VB.Net. Any recommended tools?
Thanks! -

The easiest way is to completely rewrite the application from scratch.
