    <p>I think you've already seen the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/638152/best-development-tools-for-upgrading-from-vb6-0">question</a> about tools for migrating VB6 to VB.NET.</p> <p>Both have published special offer prices for the UK market on their <strong>basic</strong> products on this Microsoft UK <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dd408373.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">page</a>. Of course you need to know the limitations of the basic products and the prices for your market to make a realistic judgement, so you probably do need to contact them :(</p> <ul> <li>Artinsoft Upgrade Companion Developer Edition <a href="http://www.artinsoft.com/visual-basic-upgrade-companion-developers.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">£199</a> for up to 50,000 lines of code. <strong>EDIT</strong> Now offering a <a href="http://www.artinsoft.com/artinsoft-renews-its-efforts-to-ease-the-transition-from-microsoft-visual-basic-6-to-microsoft-net-framework.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">free version</a> that can do up to 10,000 lines of code.</li> <li>Code Architects’ Visual Basic Migration Partner Professional Edition <a href="http://www.vbmigration.com/campaignuk.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">£399</a>. They told me this was also for up to 50,000 lines of code.</li> </ul> <p>The built-in Microsoft upgrade wizard is pathetic - <a href="http://www.devx.com/vb/Article/16822" rel="nofollow noreferrer">according to the guy who wrote it</a> - of course he is from Artinsoft so he wants to sell you something better. Microsoft UK also <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dd408373" rel="nofollow noreferrer">say</a> the Artinsoft and Code Architects tools are better than the built-in upgrade wizard.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I contacted Code Architects for a quote, they responded very fast. Unlike this Stack Overflow <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/264375/upgrading-a-large-vb6-app-to-net-opinions-on-vb-migration-partner">question</a> by <em>Angry Hacker</em> who had a worse experience. But then Francesco Balena popped up on Stack Overflow to answer his question within 12 hours, which is more encouraging. </p>
