VB 6.0 Conversion and 64-bit

Due to Microsoft's ceasing to support Visual Studio 6.0, we are converting
all our programs to be built in Visual Studio .NET. One of those programs is
in VB 6.0. We can't convert it to VB .NET because it needs to run on 64-bit
platforms. Is our only option to convert the program to unmanaged C++?

Thanks,

Joseph,
As brian suggests. There will be a 64-bit version of .NET 2.0, it will
support VB.NET programs.

My understanding existing (1.0 & 1.1) .NET programs will run under the
64-bit .NET version with no changes, you may not even need to recompile.

For details see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdntv/epi...B/manifest.xml

For info on the beta of .NET 2.0 see:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/

Hope this helps
Jay

That's true, but .NET 2.0 is still a Beta and it will take about max. 1
year until it's made available in the release version.
