VB Converter to ASP

Hello,
I've never heard of a Conversion tool that worked well enough to justify
using it. I haven't checked around on this subject for quite some time. I
was trying to find out if there existed a tool (descent tool) that wold
convert VB6 code to VB.Net or C# ASP and if so, is it any good.

Thanks for any help...

This newsgroup is for users of Visual Basic version 6.0
and earlier and not the misleadingly named VB.Net
or VB 200x. Solutions, and often even the questions,
for one platform will be meaningless in the other.
When VB.Net was released Microsoft created new newsgroups
devoted to the new platform so that neither group of
developers need wade through the clutter of unrelated
topics. Look for newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or
"vsnet" in their name. For the msnews.microsoft.com news
server try these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

There is probably no such tool available that is any good.
There is a VB.NET to C# converter on the net, but even that isn't really any
good for a whole application. It fails to handle things like VB's ability to
set the return value before the function ends to a correctly-placed 'return'
statement, so god knows how it would handle VB6 to .NET.
VS.NET does come with a built-in one, but for anything other than a 'hello
world' program the amount of errors in the resulting code probably take
longer to fix than rewriting the program.
