If you know you want to migrate your Visual Basic 6 application to VB.NET, what is the first thing you should do?

  1. Open the Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard, get a cup of coffee and watch it run.

  2. Assess the VB 6 application; find out what controls it uses, what projects are in there and so on.

  3. Cancel all social plans for the next couple months and start rewriting the app in .NET.

  4. Schedule meetings with end users to see what features they want to add to the app.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Migration planning must start with assessment - understanding the application's architecture, dependencies, controls, and complexity. Jumping straight into tools (Option A) or rewriting (Option C) without assessment risks missing critical dependencies and architectural mismatches. Gathering new requirements (Option D) is premature when the existing requirements aren't understood.
