Can VS 2003 import VB6 projects?

[Auric__]

I'm a VB6 programmer (with a leetel bit of C-ish languages) and I'm
going to bite the bullet and give .Net a try - again - but I want to see
how things work by importing my current projects and seeing what
happens. Is this by any chance built into VS 2003? (I'd like to know
*before* installing the .Net framework and everything.)

Yes, you can import your VB6 projects as they'll be converted to VB .NET. It
works okay, and the stuff the wizard can't convert is marked for you to do
the chnages yourself.

VB 2003 comes with the upgrade wizard. I guess it's part of VB, not of the
Framework. Have a look here, first:

What kind of stuff can't be converted?

VB.Net is a completely new language - despite you will see language
similarities - based on a completely different concept. New concepts require
new solutions, that's why not everything can be converted 1:1. For example,
graphics and printing is done differently. For more info, see the link I
posted.
