VB to Web
I have a program written in VB6 that I was wondering if I could "easily" (or maybe a better word would be "quickly") turn into a web interface so that the program could be run on a server instead of having to run on individual computers hitting a database on the server?
My background is very limited with web development. I know HTML too well, css slightly. And I've dabbled in vbscript for a few months (but not to the point where I'd consider myself to actually be of any worth with vbscript), but I've never done anything with VB. I've looked at the source code and I generally understand the logic and flow, but there are plenty of differences between vb and vbscript (understandably too). So I'm just seeing if there is a good/efficient way of porting a vb program into a web interface or if I have to start from the ground and totally rework it in ASP/Vbscript (no, not .net). Thanks! |

Well, I talked to a guy from a company that is Microsoft Gold Certified (I guess they know a lot
and he seemed to think that I pretty much need to start from the ground up.So unless someone has some other information, the answer to whether or not I can take an existing vb application and port it to a web application easily is a No (unless you know vbscript/vb.net/some other program language) very well and then it wouldn't be hard to re-do it. |

That is correct.
Depending on the complexity of your project, it shouldn't be hard to do with some basic knowledge (which you can pick up in a few hours) ![]() On the plus side, if you get stuck, you can always make a post here and we can help you debug your app

I would go with building ASP.NET application.
the syntax is going to be very like VB6 and if your code is written wisely, there is chance you'll be able to migrate whole parts without any change. (for example all the database logic) |

I'd like to do it in VB.NET, but everything on the server is already in vbscript, and I don't even think the framework for .NET is installed (not that that would be difficult to do, but just stating it).
So far my boss doesn't seem to be impressed with VB.NET and wants me to stay in vbscript. |

VB6 is more like VB.Net than VBscript. I don't see why your boss wouldn't be impressed with VB.Net unless he doesn't understand what can be done with it. Plus the fact that VBScript is only a scripting language and VB.Net is an OOP.
