MS Access is a great tool for building in house applications and prototypes quickly and cheaply. But, when it comes to having multiple users, and needing advanced features and connectivity, Access is not going to be able to perform as well as an application built in .NET. Microsoft .NET framework is incredibly powerful, and flexible, and allows you to build enterprise scale systems relatively quickly. Once your business has grown to a stage where your Access applications are holding you back, you will find it is time to convert them to VB.NET or something similar. VB.NET is a good choice, as it uses the Visual Basic language, which is not too different from the VBA language used in MS Access. This makes it much easier for your developers to migrate their skill sets and knowledge to .NET, and start building much more powerful software that will improve performance in your business.
The Evolution MS Access to VB.NET Converter
Our Evolution MS Access to VB.NET converter was designed to simplify the complex process of moving your applications written in MS Access to a VB.NET. By using this great tool, developers can dramatically reduce the time required to convert forms and code modules written using Microsoft Access into VB.NET code .
The Evolution Access to VB.NET Converter converts Continuous Forms, Multi page tab pages, Unbound and Bound Forms, and ActiveX controls, such as the MS Date Picker. It will also convert Data Access code written using DAO or ADO into ADO.NET with a high degree of success.
The Evolution Access Converter has been created with the Experienced developer in mind, who does not want to spend many hours converting the visual design of Access Forms, or perform thousands of repetitive code changes during conversion to .NET
Bound forms can also be converted successfully, as we add our own record set navigation controls during translation. If you have forms with lots of old DAO or ADO Data Access code, our conversion process is especially useful as the conversion tool translates this code to ADO.NET.
