Quick answer

How do you migrate a VB6 application?

A VB6 migration starts with analysing the code, forms, reports and database to extract business rules, then choosing a target such as .NET desktop, a web application or a packaged product. Stack18 uses AI-assisted code analysis to document the existing logic, rebuilds screens and reports on the new platform, migrates data, tests results against the old system and cuts over in phases.

How much does VB6 & Visual Basic Migration cost in India?

Most VB6 & Visual Basic Migration projects start with a Modernisation Assessment (2–3 weeks, fixed price), which fixes the scope, team and price before you commit. VB6 Migration takes 3–9 months at a fixed price per phase. Prices exclude GST. Cloud hosting and third-party usage, such as messaging, payment or AI model charges, are paid at cost.

Should we convert VB6 automatically?

Automated converters can speed up the work but often produce code that is hard to maintain. We use tools and AI for analysis, then rebuild critical parts properly.

Can we keep the same screens?

We can keep familiar layouts to reduce training, while fixing usability problems.

What happens to our data?

Data is migrated, cleaned and reconciled with the old system before cutover.

Can it become a web application?

Yes, and that is often the best choice, allowing access from any browser and mobile.

Do you provide VB6 & Visual Basic Migration across India?

Yes. Stack18 is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and delivers VB6 & Visual Basic Migration for businesses across India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Work runs remotely with weekly demos, and on-site workshops are arranged for key milestones.
