Why you need our VB6 migration services

1

Insufficient performance will cost you big

Visual Basic was built for a different world, and this detail always impacts modern-day business environments. Delays, crashes, manual workarounds, resource-heavy maintenance – these issues are not just frustrating, they’re taking away time and money, and your customer’s trust.

2

Limited functionality and scalability

Visual Basic wasn’t designed to handle modern demands for growth – legacy programs just can’t keep up. Forget about new features.

3

Security vulnerabilities – you might risk everything

Another point to consider: outdated technology, in particular VB6 applications, are a sought target for hackers. Without resource-intense, consistent measures, your information – reputation and finances too – are unsteady.

4

Compatibility issues hinder progress

If you are planning to integrate modern tools and platforms to expand your opportunities, VB6 won’t let you. The already outdated architecture will create endless roadblocks.

The reasons to migrate VB6 systems

VB6 has long been a widespread programming language, first introduced in the late 90’s, and had great impact. By providing a low learning curve and ease of use, Visual Basic 6.0 gained sensible popularity across industries and is still being actively utilized.

VB6 support was discontinued in 2008, which means VB6 software isn’t receiving regular updates and patches. That means security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, integration complications, regulatory incompliance, and other undesired challenges coming with Visual Basic 6 applications.

VB6 challenges

So, why migrate from VB software?

  • Insufficient performance
  • Limited functionality and scalability
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Compatibility issues

VB6 migration to harness

  • Higher performance and efficiency
  • Expanded functionality and scalability
  • Improved security through updates and patches
  • Enhanced compatibility across platforms and devices
  • Long-term support and maintenance
  • Cloud compatibility

Visual Basic is an already outdated programming language, and more sensitive loopholes are found every day. Overflowed buffers, insufficient encryption, no secure coding standards, no secure communication protocols, and limited security libraries are just the most common challenges to expect.

As per CVE reports, even later versions of Visual Basic are rated with 9.3 security vulnerabilities – a score considered critical.

FAQ

What does it cost to convert VB6 software to .NET?

The cost isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s a whole combination of factors – size, complexity, the level of modernization. Are you simply revamping your applications, adding functionality, or redesigning?

And how long does it take to migrate VB6 software to .NET?

Your future project’s timeline, as well as cost, can vary very widely in accordance to different project attributes. A smaller, simpler application might take you months, while complicated, business-critical systems could stretch up to a year or more.

Why should I migrate VB6 to .NET code?

VB6’s outdated, slow, unreliable, and riddled with limitations, which restrain business performance and growth. When migrating, you leverage higher performance and efficiency, modern functionality, security, compatibility, and more.

What are the steps to migrate VB6 to .NET code?

Your roadmap could look like this:

  • Step 1: assess your current application – what works, what doesn’t, and what needs modernizing
  • Step 2: define your business objectives – new features, cloud readiness, maybe stability?
  • Step 3: plan architecture
  • Step 4: start modernizing – rewrite, re-platform, whatever makes more sense 
  • Step 5: test extensively
  • Step 6: and deploy!

And to achieve guaranteed project success, work with VB6 migration partners possessing the expertise.
