Guidelines for Migration


When you plan to migrate to .NET, you must remember the following guidelines:

  • Select an appropriate migration strategy that allows you to reduce the risk of migration. In adverse situations, you may migrate from your existing application and the converted code may not run as desired.

  • Migrate to .NET in a way that allows you to retain existing COM code. You need to consider which parts of the unmanaged application need to be migrated and which parts can interoperate with the .NET application.

  • Obtain the advantages of the features that .NET provides. Migration is not of much use if you are not planning to avail of the new features that .NET provides.

  • Select the right code to migrate. It is important to select the right code or you may find it difficult to integrate the new code with the existing application. It is best to perform a code path analysis before migration.

  • Select an operating system that utilizes all the features of .NET. For example, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows ME do not provide all the .NET features. It is better to use Windows 2000, 2003, or XP to use all the features of .NET.
