upgrading from vb6

Anyone have any opinions on upgrading from vb6 to the current or will be current vb2005. I have tried the upgrade process for 2002 and 2003. Wasn't too impressed, but I realize I can't expect it understand and re-write all my code. Wondering if the upgrade process for 2005 is any different or better....?

Thanks,
Jason Hall

Hi Jason,

We have added some new features to the Upgrade Tool in VB 2005 see this article for more information:

If you have any specific upgrade questions please let me know

I have taken one of my small systems and run it through the upgrade wizard. For the most part, everything went very smoothly. I am still struggling with Crystal reports, but it will come.
So, what I have is VS2005 emulating VB6 (which was emulating VB3). If I was to get the most out of VS2005, I should probably rewrite it using VS2005 constructs and methods.
