For this activity, just click the Yes To All button that means we will convert to and open Visual C++ 6.0 project (all files) in Visual C++ .Net 2003 IDE.

Here we are. Next we are going to build this program. Firstly we need to save our project in the new environment. Click the File→Save All menu or click the Save All icon in the menu bar.

Put the solution name or you can accept the default given name.

Here we accept the default solution name and click the Save button. Next, click the Build menu or click the short cut Build icon in the menu bar.

Notice the Output window for any weird error(s) or warning(s) that normally related to the old version of syntaxes or you need to adjust some of the project properties accordingly. You may also check the BuildLog.htm file for the detail.

Next we are going to run the program (Start Without Debugging – Ctrl + F5).

Here is the output! Your Visual C++ 6.0 project already became Visual C++ .Net project.
