Migrate VB6 to .NET Blazor with AI Code Conversion

The VB6 AI Migrator is a VB6.0 to VB.NET or C# migration tool. This advanced tool provides a cost-effective solution that features ADO to ADO.NET conversion, variable type resolution ("late binding" problem), error handling replacement, use of .NET native libraries, code refactoring, third party component mappings, migration of mixed VB6 and ASP projects, multi-project upgrade support, and much more.

We support migration from VB6 to the latest version of .NET  with Blazor, as well as WinForms and WebForms targets.

Our self-service license will take your VB6 app to C#/WinForms. To go to Blazor, we work with you to run the migration tool on our end.

We handle ADO/DAO to Entity Framework Core, Crystal Reports to modern reporting, and most common third-party VB6 controls.

There are several drivers for a VB to .NET migration:

• Integrate Windows, Web, Office and Mobile solutions
• Boost system performance
• Ease deployment
• Improve the maintenance of an application
• Increase developer productivity
• Consolidate your company's valuable software assets
• Avoid obsolescence of outdated software (support for VB 6 ended on April 8th, 2008 ).
• Maintain competitive advantage

The decision can be justified by many factors, like technological constraints, legal/regulatory compliance requirements and lack of resources for older languages, all of which decrease an organization’s agility, boost operating costs and tend to destabilize its competitive position.

Pricing for the tool basically depends on the amount of effective lines of code (ELOC) to be migrated. Licensing is per application and you can run the VB6 AI Migrator several times upon the same VB6 files for which you originally purchased the product.

Only code lines and design lines are taken into account, excluding blanks and comments. Also, duplicate lines are not charged, though these cases require a special license (contact us if that’s your case).

You can determine application size, and therefore the license you need to purchase, running our free Code Assessment Tool against the application to migrate.

For licenses prices please contact us and we will provide you all the information you need to migrate your VB6 application.

The Hybrid AI modernization engine combines deterministic AI with generative AI. Deterministic AI is a rules-based engine that ensures precision, security, and the correct translation of complex business logic without "hallucinations". Generative AI is then layered on top to accelerate time-consuming tasks like code analysis, testing, refactoring, and documentation.

Yes, GAP can develop additional mappings to migrate third party components and additional customization rules to convert programming patterns or structures so they become more ".NET-like". By customizing the VB6 AI Migrator according to the characteristics of your application and your target requirements the percentage of automated conversion is increased, thus reducing the manual effort required during a VB to .NET migration project.

Through its pioneering automatic software migration technology, GAP employs grammar-based reasoning to optimize the application. At the core of GAP's solution is Artificial Intelligence technology that creates a full abstraction of the original program via intermediate representations in which millions of transformations are applied to produce another abstraction in the target language. The new source code is then generated from that abstraction. At each processing stage, the system cleans up the logic, derives useful information from it, deduces its new best representational form and passes it on to the next stage.

The goal for most migrations is to achieve 90% to 95% automation. But it’s dependent on technology, our most automated tool is the VB6 AI Migrator. This high level of automation means the "heavy lifting" of the code is handled by the deterministic engine, while the remaining 5% to 10% requires manual human intervention, which is further sped up by generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot and our newer Agentic AI Platform.

• Databases: Generally, the database stays the same (e.g., SQL Server), though minor tweaks for performance or security may be implemented.
  
  
• Reporting: Tools exist for converting reports, but for complex systems like Crystal Reports, they are often rebuilt from scratch or migrated to modern web-based reporting components to ensure long-term maintainability.
