VB6 MS Project Addin -> VB2005

[Evan S. Dictor]

I have an existing MS Project Addin (DLL) written in VB6. I would like to
convert this application to VB2005. My preliminary attempts at migration have
failed, mostly on the .dsr file that links the DLL to Project.

Is there anything I should know before I go any further (and by "any
further" I guess I really mean "do anything," since I really haven't done
much at all so far) with the process?

Thanks in advance,
Evan S. Dictor

You may want to run the Visual Basic 6.0 Code Advisor against your application before attempting to
convert.

The CodeAdvisor and the Migration Wizard both seem to give similar
information, but neither one seems to understand anything about how to
convert a VB6 Addin (which used a designer module for the connection) to a VB
2005 Addin for MS Project.

Is there any good documentation available on how I can do this? Or even some
good documentation about making Addins for Office applications other than
Word/Excel/Outlook? The Shared Addin seems to be the way to go (it has a MS
Project choice) but seems to be largely undocumented (at least at first
search).

Thanks,
