How does it relate to other migration tools, such as Code Advisor and Upgrade Assessment Tools?
• In addition to the Upgrade Wizard included in Visual Studio, Microsoft offers two tools that can be useful during the migration process. Code Advisor quickly scans a VB6 application and highlights code constructs that can’t be converted to VB.NET; the Upgrade Assessment Tool provides a cost estimation of the migration process. VB Migration Partner embeds and augments the functionality of these two utilities. In fact, VB Migration Partner matches the Upgrade Assessment Tool’s features, in that it allows you to generate project metrics, export them to Microsoft Excel, evaluate cost and time of the entire process, and customize the report as you see fit. (Notice that this feature requires that Microsoft Excel be installed on the local computer.) As for the Code Advisor tool, VB Migration Partner parser and code generation engine is so fast that it can convert an entire VB6 application, calculate code metrics, and optimize the resulting VB.NET code in about the same time that Code Adviso
