While I used to VB 6 like the back of my hand, it has been a very long time I have never attempted to convert a large project. Are their any guides to help me along the process?

A:
There is Dan Appleman's Moving to VB .NET
Also:
- 10 Things to Avoid When Moving From VB6 to VB.NET
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Migration Resource Center (an excellent resource)
- Moving from VB6 to VB.NET (Windows Forms)
These 2 tools can be useful in conversions:

Thanks, that is exactly the kind of resources I was looking for. I'm glad you got it in before the jerks closed it because my question vaguely resembled something someone asked before.

@Jonathan Allen: No problem. In all fairness, it is fairly similiar, and John did provide the SO links that I'd missed. I just wish SO had a better mechanism for grouping similiar questions...

Perhaps I am just a wee bit touchy. Porting hundreds of forms and who knows how many class modules tends to make one cranky.
