Visual Basic Upgrade Companion incorporates a GUI and Command Line interface oriented towards improving the tool’s usability and user experience and boosting the administration and control capabilities over the code and the migration process.

Optimized for Large Migration Projects: the graphical environment facilitates large migration tasks of multiple VB6 projects.
Command Line Interface
Simple and Powerful: all the functionality accessible from a text based interface.
Batch migrations: The CLI allows the users to create batch migration tasks
Upgrade Warnings
The Upgrade Manager displays a list of pre-migration warnings to identify all the items that need to be manually fixed before performing an upgrade. The warnings include unresolved references, binary files not found, required GUIDs not found, and more.
To solve the upgrade warnings, the graphical user interface offers different suggestions for each type, for instance, set an unresolved reference manually (it will also resolve all other references to the same component), change a reference that was resolved as an external reference, and more.
ASP support integration
If the ASP Upgrade Companion is installed, all the functionalities of this tool will be integrated into the Upgrade Manager.
All the ASP files found will be displayed in the solution tree. Thus, mixed (ASP/VB6) upgrades are easy to perform.
