Converting code from Visual Studio 6.0 to VS2005.

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Converting code from Visual Studio 6.0 to VS2005.

I'm trying to revive some projects that I've been doing in Visual Studio 6.0 from way back when, and at first, before I knew about the .NET structure, I thought that there was some backwards compatibility from the traditional Visual Studio packages and the new .NET based ones. Boy, was I dead wrong about that... Now, that leads to mind the question, are there any formulae on how to convert traditional Visual Studio code so that it IS recognized by the .NET structure that VS 2005 uses? I'm looking around for a good book or website tutorial, but those ones I found aren't in laymen's terms at all...

Not sure what your after... But I've used a couple of these:-

Usually though, I let VS2005 convert the project itself, build it, and if it flags errors, I just put the error code into help and suss it out from there (That is, if you are wanting a VC++6 project converted to a VC++8 project).

Still, I tried! ;)
