Looking for info on how to port VC++ 6 code/projects to VC++ 9

Hi All,

I'm looking for info on how to port VC++ 6 code/projects to VC++ 9
(2008).

I noticed that there is a converter built-in for Visual *BASIC* to
convert from VS6 to 9...

I have found the following brief note:

" know how to convert projects from older VS versions to newer -- you
get prompted
when you try to open an older version's project -- "...

Another brief note I found:

" Your best bet is to just make a copy of the VS 6.0 codebase, and try
compiling
it in 2008. See what breaks, and then you can make a rough estimate of
how long
it would take to port it "

How about devenv? What versions can it take as input? Searching fairly
hard,
I couldn't find anything definitive on the MS forums or elsewhere that
specified
that. How would you specify what version is the input? Which command
line switch,
if any, can I read about, that specifies that?

One would think that there would be more information (as well as
tools) out there
about how to port from such a popular old version of VC++.
Can anyone point me at such? Sometimes I don't always manage to type
the
magic keywords into the search engines...


Best regards...

Thanks, Dave! I'll get into it...
