v6.0 [Nov 18, 2013]

v5.0 [Mar 12, 2011]
otally revamped user interface
A friendlier, easier to use interface, guiding the user through all the steps required to convert the code and providing clear feedback about the process and pending actions. Detailed descriptions and examples for the different upgrade options were added to help chose the most appropriate settings.
VBUC 5.0 Beta User interface
Conversion of “Load”, “Unload”, “Show” and “Close”
VBUC 5.0 includes a new option to convert the Load, Unload, Show and Close statements and the Show and Load events. To convert these statements and events the VBUC provides the following options:
.NET Native event and functions
Load event upgraded as a method invoked from a Form constructor
“ADODB.Field” migration
Added support for the conversion of ADODB.Field when ADO is being converted to ADO.NET using System.Data.Commons. This new version supports the value of the ADODB.Field and the metadata
“On Error Resume Next” to Lambda Expressions
The “On Error Resume Next” statement doesn’t have a direct equivalent in C#.NET. VBUC 5.0 introduces a new optional feature to convert it using lambda expressions, drastically reducing the manual changes related to this conversion.
“VB.Collection” to .Net Native Classes
The current version of the VBUC provides an option to convert “VB.Collection” to the following .NET Classes: HashTable, ArrayList, StringCollection and StringDictionary, depending on how the collection is used in the original code.
VBUC 5.0 now converts the “VB.Collection” to the .NET Ordered Dictionary class instead of the above combination, producing a cleaner code closer to functional equivalence.
Improved conversion of multi-dimensional arrays
The migration of multi-dimensional array was enhanced to reduce the compilation errors on the converted code, by considering all the dimensions for the most possible scenarios.
