VB Migration
“Microsoft's Extended Support of Visual Basic has been retired”
Essentially, the goal of a VB migration project is to leverage and reuse the processes, logic, labor and financial investment of an existing VB application by migrating and converting these elements and their functionality to a newer, more modern, true object oriented language and platform. Since Microsoft has officially ended their support of VB there is a growing need in the market for automated solutions to migrate/convert VB6 applications to more modern and supported language environments.
- Microsoft no longer supports Visual Basic.
- Developers will be going to newer technology positions.
- Full Object-Orientation with newer languages.
- Reduced costs of application deployment.
- Ability to move to other platforms and hardware.
- Advantages of web enabling.
These are the most popular migration/conversion options :
- Visual Basic to VB.NET or C#.
- Visual Basic to ASP.NET.
- Visual Basic to J2EE.
- Web enable Visual Basic.
- Ability to move to other platforms and hardware.
- Convert Visual Basic to a Rich Internet Application ( Ajax, Flex, Silverlight, JSF).
