  Version: VBto Converter 2.36

  "I was finally able to migrate to C++"

  on December 3, 2007

  Pros: I have been using VB6 for years and needed to migrate to C++ MFC so that I could seriously move into the industry. I work in artificial intelligence and NLP. I've been toying with the idea of converting my code to C++ for over 2 years but was always hesitant because of the amount of work.

  I found VBto on Google and decided to give it a try...

  Its very easy to use... you just load in your VB project and it will convert it to a C++ project. (It converts to like 6 other types of languages too.)

  To start... don't expect it to be 100% error free... it really depends on what you have going on with your project. I had to fix a few things... but they were all simple things and usually had to do with native differences between VB/C++.

  Another thing you might consider is making a prototype of your project in VB6 and then convert it. What I mean is... make a project that includes only your core algorithms so that you don't end up with a mess on your hands.

  Also, its a good thing to check the Sample Project included with VBto. It has 95% of the essential functions like Dir(), read text file, Instr(), etc, etc... so you want to check it so that your VB code reflects the syntax of these samples. That way VBto is sure to convert the code error free.

  Anyway, VBto has finally allowed me to move to C++ and become a 'player'. Its definately good money spent and it will save you TONS of time. My core algorithm which is really processor intensive and includes 7,000 lines of code runs approximately 1.666 times faster. And I was able to convert it in 3 days... sweeet!

  Cons: It was missing one or two functions I needed like Replace()... but it was no big deal.
