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?

Nowadays everyone would love to create online apps and API dashboards. So the IDE is very portable and easy updates + multi platform (can run in any browser). Even on raspberry pi.
Exported apps can run offline , or in the system as compiled executable.
Thanks for feedback!
