Step 1
Port Build Project
Using your development environment utilities port your current application build
project to the new platform compatible with Visual Basic .NET and made all the
adjustments required by migration tool. For example, to port the Microsoft Visual
Basic 6.0 *.vbp project to the new Microsoft Visual Basic .NET.vbproj format,
open the *.vbp project selecting Open\ Project from the File command menu in
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. For details refer to Microsoft’s Visual Studio.NET

After the project migration tool finishes a report will be presented containing the
tasks to be performed in order to make the application build under Visual Basic
.NET.
