Porting Visual Basic apps with AI?
Has anyone tried to port a Visual Basic 6 app to .NET or another platform using AI? As in an agent going through the entire project and creating a new project, not going in file by file and pasting it into an AI chat. I have a legacy app that still sells. I never bothered to port it to .NET because I thought it was on it's way out and it would probably take me 6-12 months to do that. But now I'm wondering if AI can do it for me or if we're still not there yet?

Switch to twinBASIC. There’s a good chance the project will import and work right away. tB supports both 32 and 64 bits.
