There are millions of VB6 Forms out there. Some of them will remain the same for a long time. Others want to migrate to the new technology of presentation, without adding new effects, but only for using new features like WPF,WCF and so on. The only path to migration is to rewrite every form in the new model of presentation WPF with XAML.

Another solution is to have a tool that convert the controls and their properties into the new model, where you can add logic and services to the "old and well-known" interfaces.

VB6(2)XAML is born to do this. With this tool you can migrate your forms into XAML Code to work with WPF and the .net Framework 3.0.

Obviously, the purpose of a converting tool is to convert an object from a format to another one. VB6 to XAML is an engine that can convert Visual Basic 6.0 Forms to XAML windows. It is an open engine, so everyone can write his own classes to convert a control in some particular way. Soon i will put online a tutorial to write classes that can convert VB6 Controls to XAML, adding styles and effect, maybe! At the moment, i have written only the base control converters and some converters of the MSComctlLib library, but if you want you can write a different converter for your needs. The engine remain the same.
