can any one please tell the tool which converts vb6 to vb.net

Solution 1

There is one that comes with vb.net. When you open a .vbp vb6 project, it asks if you would like to automatically convert it to vb.net. It does a pretty good job, exclusive of third party add-ons.

Solution 2

You can also try Visual Basic Upgrade Companion.
It generates VB .NET and C# and maps COM components to Framework components.

Microsoft Corp just published a world-wide case study based on the successful VB6 migration project:

The built-in migration wizard does a terrible job: it adds hundreds of "TODO" comments to mark things you will have to fix manually. There are third party tools that do a better job. There's good discussion in the other VB migration questions stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/vb6-migration

There's some more discussion of Francesco Balena's tool, and it's competitor from Artinsoft, and the other issues involved in the other VB6 migration questions stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/vb6-migration
