ArtinSoft releases an improved, easier to use edition of its VB to .NET conversion product

5/23/2011 ArtinSoft Update / info@artinsoft.com

Sammamish, WA. - May 23, 2011 - ArtinSoft Corporation announced today the official release of the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion (VBUC) v5.0, the latest version of the flagship tool that automatically converts Visual Basic 6.0 applications to both native VB.NET and C#, packed with more than 200 new features and enhancements aimed towards improving the tool’s usability and reducing the manual effort in migration projects, increasing the productivity on migration projects even further.

The most noticeable improvement in this new edition of the VBUC is a totally revamped, friendlier and easier to use interface, which guides the user through all the steps required to convert the code and provides even more 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.

The VBUC 5.0 is an extensible and customizable solution that provides about 80% savings when compared to a manual rewrite and 60% versus other tools, generally lowering the migration project timeframe by up to 5 times. It has been successfully used already by thousands of customers around the globe, from independent developers to large global corporations, including many Fortune 100 companies.

“The more I know of this product, the more impressed I am! Thus far I have experienced the intuitive interface design and logical assembly of the required configuration parameters for a smooth and successful migration, and it has been a revelation to us. And the useful notes and pointers inserted into the code make it simple to understand the differences in language functionality”, recently noted Martin Summerley, Chief System Engineer at SMC Software in South Africa.

Customers can license the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion to perform the migration in-house or use the ArtinSoft consulting services team to execute a risk-free turn-key project that delivers a final, tested application.
