Not enough information. You cannot expect such a different kind of project as VB6 to be converted to .NET smoothly; I never even heard that it happened so easily...

there is an option in visula studio to convert it but it is done properly i dont know
why

If its was done properly, you would have no problems and did not ask this question. In fact, "properly" is not really defined. The targets are different; some things are homological to each other, some have no correspondence at all...

first of all if u dont know there is an option in visual studio 2005 and in newer version also to convert and it is also done automatically when you open any project solution build in visual basic 6.o it shows u a message
"Welcome to visual basic upgrade wizard"
you are attempting to open a visual basic 6.0 project that must be upgraded to viual studio 2005

Your last comments are simply rude and ignorant. You should not blame people with something you have no information on. On this site, we generally consider shifting from technical or theoretical problems to personal unacceptable. The only fighting person here is you.

Also, please be advised that that not "textspeack", not using full spelling with full capitalization and punctuation is considered impolite.

Thank you.

haha it is seen by your comment who is a fighting person so spare me please and dont comment if you dont know anyhting

I am commenting for the very last time, by only one reason: you "don't comment" request is very rude and should not be respected.
Here, we don't consider acceptable shifting from working issues to personal.

Solution 1

The conversion tool is not perfect and the code it generates is not guaranteed to run. The quality of the code generated depends greatly on the quality of the original VB6 code.

You have to go through the generated code and fix it yourself. Given the information you provided, it's impossible for anyone to tell you what to do to fix it.
