How to: View the Upgrade Report

  • Article

When a Visual Basic 6.0 project is upgraded to Visual Basic 2008, an upgrade report is created and placed in the new project folder. The upgrade report contains summary information about the upgrade process plus information on any errors or issues encountered during upgrade.

Note

The upgrade report is only generated for projects upgraded using the Upgrade Wizard; no reported is generated for projects upgraded from the command line.

The upgrade report can be viewed in the Visual Basic 2008 integrated development environment (IDE) or in any Web browser.

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.
