>Conversion is, for all intents and purposes, not a good idea. Think about moving from Fox 2.x to VFP. The languages were the same, but applications are done differently in VFP. The converter created Formsets, which are considered a bad thing to have.

>.NET apps are typically architected differently that VFP apps. The languages are different. My advice is to prioritize different modules of your app. Take the first one and spec it out. Document the functionality. Then start rewriting it in .NET. You'll learn ALOT and the second module will be very different. Don't be afraid to go back and refactor the first one.
