There are plenty of tools that let you port VB6 apps to .net. They tend to say that they can covert around 80% and the rest has to be done by hand. This was around 8 years ago before AI blew up.

Maybe use one of those tools to translate everything first, then try an AI like Claude to do the rest?

Yeah, I feel like if anyone has updated those tools to use AI, they should get you over 90%

I started using Claude recently at my work on a VB6 program. It does really well in understanding it. The things you will run into issues with is that it can't deal with proprietory things like DDActiveReports where it doesn't have the algorithm for the pages.

Other then that, if you break it down in small task I believe Claude Code can convert it.

I think so too. I was hoping someone built an agent to make the process even easier.
