VB Migration

“Microsoft's Extended Support of Visual Basic has been retired”

What is a VB migration?

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.

Why should we move off of Visual Basic?

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.

What are the options when moving off of VB?

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).
