I've come to that conclusion. Yesterday I went to a couple of bookstores &
read about VB.NET & the .NET Framework. I read about the advantages VB.NET
has over "classic" VB & I came to the conclusion that it would be a waste of
time to convert "classic" VB to VB.NET. Some of the older demo programs that
I have probably wouldn't convert at all & I have a LOT of demos. So, I'll
have to "bite the bullet" & abandon "classic" VB & go with VB.NET. My main
concern is being able to install VB.NET programs on PCs that don't have the
..NET Framework installed. But after browsing thru books yesterday, I found
out that ClickOnce can install the .NET Framework on PCs that don't have it.
Thank you.

open the source code in VB.NEt & convert to VB.NET. I've read conflicting
replies about a code convertor being available in the Express Edition. I
don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to get Visual Studio. Does VB.NET
Express Edition have a code convertor or does it not? Thank you.
I do not know if the Express Edition contains the migration wizard, but I
doubt it does. However, it rarely makes sense to upgrade Classic VB /demo
programs/. Instead, it's better to rewrite them in VB.NET.
