Approach Guide for Migration

S.No Tools Used For Migration

1 Visual Studio.Net 2008 Professional
2 Visual Basic 6.0
3 Visual Stuido .Net 2010
Break down of Steps for Migration
S.No Step
1 Running the upgrade wizard
2 Compiling the upgraded project
3 Resolution of unique build errors
4 Executing the application
5 Resolution of execution errors
Developer Comments
Micosoft is shipped VB.Net upgrade wizard till 2008.
This wizard is not part of VS.Net 2010or later versions.
So essentially Visual Stuid .Net 200X should help
Note:Read in one of the articles in internet that for upgrade
wizard to work, VB should be installed prior to Visual Stuido .Net
200X version.
Input
1. ASP files
OR
2. VBP File
Upgraded project
"Upgrade to .Net Errors" worksheet - Refer to respective project
build errors
Compiled Web application/Winform application
"Upgrade to .Net Errors" worksheet - Refer to respective project
execution errors
Output
1. Not tried because the solution was already created with .asp files
2. Depending on the vb project type (dll/exe), respective .Net project
(classlibrary/winform) is created
3. Upgrade report is also generated, which gives the details of the upgrade
for each class file in the VBP
1. If there are build errors, the details of unique build errors are updated in
"Upgrade to .Net Errors" worksheet.
2. If the project compiled successfully, proceeded to STEP 4
1. The cause (if possible) and the resolution details of the build error is
updated in "Upgrade to .Net Errors" worksheet
2. This is recursive until all the build errors are resolved.
1. Start with the default asp page/form
2. Proceed to see the execution of each page
3. If there are any errors, the details of errors is updated in "Upgrade to
.Net Errors" worksheet
1. The cause (if possible) and the resolution details of the error is updated in
"Upgrade to .Net Errors" worksheet
2. This is recursive until all the errors are resolved.

Cause Solution (Suggestion) Complexity Effort Status
All applications running on IIS Installing .Net Framwork 1.1 over 4.0 caused this issue
Couple of solutions suggested in net 1)
Registering ASPNET with IIS
2) Reinstalling framework 4.0
Solution that worked for me
Uninstalling and reinstalling framework
4.0 from the following location

Note: Installer would give us a repair
option. This does not resolve the

Cause
This error occurs when you use relative paths in
include statements with Microsoft Active Server Pages
(ASP)
set objChangePassword =
server.CreateObject("Vesta.clsSecurity")
Error occur because of the above object instantiation
to Vesta.clsSecurity
Solution (Suggestion) Complexity Effort Status
Reference:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/226474
The best solution to the problem is to use absolute virtual paths from the root of the
Web site instead of relative paths.
For example, if you use an include file named "mycode.inc" at the root of your
server, the virtual path would be "/mycode.inc." If you use the same include file in a
virtual directory named "/includes" on your server, the virtual path would be
"/includes/mycode.inc."

This is just a sample form created for testing the

This is the class library project.
This is referred to in ASP page as Vesta.clsSecurity.
Could notlocate the VB project Vesta.vbp
Hence created a .vbp project and added the class

Could not locate this class file.
