Can VB Migration Partner convert MTS/COM+ applications?

• VB Migration Partner converts MTS/COM+ components written in VB6 into .NET classes that inherit from System.EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponents, with the proper Transition attribute. In addition, calls to the most important and widely used objects in the COMSVCSLib type library – namely ContextInfo, ObjectContext, SecurityProperty – are converted into calls to .NET methods. If a VB6 app uses only these objects, then the reference to COMSVCSLib typelib is dropped and the .NET project has no direct dependency on it; else, this typelib will be referenced also by the converted .NET application. Additionally, VB Migration Partner recognizes the IObjectConstruct interface and generates the correct code that allows an MTS/COM+ component to retrieve the construction string passed to it by the COM+ infrastructure.
