Escape Route From VB6

We have an (effectively) undocumented VB6 application.  The fun part is that some of the third party components that we used are now unsupported (since 2003).

Management will not authorise a full rewrite – but does want to extend the application.  Our new applications are in C#. The VB.NET translation wizard leaves 100’s of errors and fails to compile.

These may provide us enough of a quick win to allow us to use supported controls for new development yet keep the existing application.
