Hi All,

Can any one throw some light on migration project effort estimation.
Is there any tool available that estimates this effort.
I have to convert from vb6 to visual studio 2008..

Any suggestions would be appreciated..

thanks

You want an effort estimate? For a project more complex than "hello world" ?

Here it is: "freakin' HUGE"


That's about as precise as it gets, trust me.

Have you installed the Code Advisor...?

It gives some advice on changes you should make before trying to use the
Visual Basic .NET Upgrade Wizard (or whatever it's now called in VS2008).
