The recommended method for converting a Visual Basic 6 project to .NET, although less attractive than using the Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard, is to create a new .NET project and then reuse portions of the existing Visual Basic 6 code to build the project up with the necessary classes and methods. This doesn’t mean that all of the code must be typed from scratch; it can be copied and pasted from existing Visual Basic 6 projects, preferably a portion at a time. The new project can be created from one of the installed Meridian Enterprise project templates or from one of the predefined .NET templates. But in the latter case, a reference to BlueCieloECM.InnoCielo.Meridian.dll must be manually added.
