NewCode - Migrating VB 6 to .NET

Free Trial >>

NewCode provides an industry leading modernization technology that migrates, re-engineers, enhances and extends legacy applications.

NewCode’s upgrade process, patented since 2004, ensures that modernized code can utilize the object oriented methodology afforded by the target language, a superior approach to the line-by-line converters offered by competitors.

How It Works
After registering your details, download the NewCode extension, follow the installation instructions and run the NewCode extension within Visual Studio, IBM Rational or Eclipse. When you select legacy files to upgrade, the NewCode wizard counts the number of code lines in each file and uses a Web service to authenticate you and authorise your conversion. Note: the only information uploaded to our server is your username, password and a number which is a count of the code lines in your files. We never upload your legacy files or your code.
