Conclusion

As you have seen in this chapter, there are very definite and predictable steps that you can take to improve the chances that your application will upgrade smoothly. While some of these steps require work up front on your part, they will save you time and effort over the course of a complete upgrade. Abandoning deprecated features and improving code quality not only will ensure a smooth upgrade but will reduce the barrier between your application and other managed framework classes.

For additional information, you can consult the MSDN white paper Preparing a Visual Basic 6.0 Application for Upgrading. You can find it by searching the Help files included with Visual Studio .NET.
