Conversion conditions

Only VB6 IDE origintated code: We process the VB6 code provided by you as is and expect the file to have been saved by the VB6 IDE. Manual changes of the VB6 file might result in files which have a syntax different to that of VB6. We do not guarantee any results while converting manually manipulated files. To improve conversion results, make sure the file has been saved by VB6 IDE and compiles before submitting it for conversion. If the file still does not convert without errors, add a simple new comment in the file and save it to force the VB6 IDE to re-apply file syntax and try again.

No line numbers: VB6 code may contain line numbers but we do not support them. Should your migration require also processing files with line numbers, let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Code blocks may not have conditionally compiled signatures: VB6 code may contain preprocess directives where the (function, sub, property, enum, etc) header is conditionaly included but we do not support them. A typical example would be a different function names of the same function for debug an release or different argument type/size for 32 and 64 bit architecture. Conditional compilation of statements within a code block or inclusion of the entire code block is fine.

No language mutations: At the moment we only support the VB6 language in English.

We can only convert what the parser can "see": If a type referenced from another library is declared as Variant there is very little we can do about the disambiguation of types.

No target formatting: Each development team has their own coding style. While we strive to keep as much formatting from the VB6 code as we can, c# formatting standards are simply not the same as those of VB6 and the resulting code might not please an eye of every magician. The best way to fix that is to use this beautiful tool from Microsoft.
It comes down to:
cd c:\path_to_your_soulution_or_project
dotnet format your_soulution_or_project_name

• You, the user, retain ownership of all data you upload to our service.
• We process your data solely to generate the product you requested.
• We prioritize the security and privacy of your data and do not retain any copies of your data, either in its original or processed form.

• Due to our strict "no data retention" policy, any inquiries regarding the processing results can only be based on the current version of our processing pipeline.
• While we prioritize your data privacy by not storing any copies of your code, this also limits our ability to revisit past processing steps in case of a dispute. (We don't know what you sent in back then.) By using our service, you acknowledge this limitation and agree to waive your right to dispute the processing results. We appreciate the feedback sent directly to our customer service in case our service hits hard errors during processing or is not available.

Code Processing and Your Responsibility: We strive to provide a reliable processing service, but we cannot guarantee the complete absence of errors. It is important to understand that:

• Our processing does not guarantee the absence of flaws in your original or future code. This includes flaws that may exist before you upload your code, or those that are introduced during processing by us.
• We are not responsible for the functionality, performance, or any issues arising from your code. This includes issues caused by your code itself or potential errors introduced during processing by us.
• The ultimate responsibility for your code and its impact rests solely with you. This includes any potential consequences for your customers who use the software generated from your code.

By using our service, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• We do not assume any liability for the functionality or flaws in your code, whether original or originating from our processing.
• We can only do that much. You are responsible for the rest of the conversion process, including translation of the code and fixing of errors remaining after conversion.
• You are solely responsible for the quality, performance, and potential consequences arising from your code and conversion.
• You are responsible for ensuring the quality and functionality of your code before uploading it for processing.
• You are responsible for testing and verifying the processed results to meet your specific needs.
• You are responsible for any potential impact your code may have on your customers.
