A practical plan for (and anyone porting a small VB6 school project): there are two safe paths — learn enough VB.NET and reimplement the parts your teacher will grade, or use a conversion tool/upgrade wizard to produce a starter project and then fix it. ’s advice to do it in VB.NET is sound for long-term learning, but a converter can save time if the deadline is tight. (learn.microsoft.com)

A short checklist to follow: first, inventory the app (forms, modules, external OCX/ActiveX controls, COM components, and how you access data). Tools exist that scan VB6 projects and highlight likely problems before you start. (aivosto.com) Next, pick your approach: for tiny projects with standard controls the Upgrade Wizard or a third‑party converter can jumpstart the work; for anything with custom OCXs, heavy API calls or complex business logic, a manual rewrite is safer. If you use a converter, treat its output as “draft” code you must fix and test. (learn.microsoft.com)

Common pain points to check early: ADO code needs to be moved to ADO.NET patterns; MSFlexGrid and similar controls usually become DataGridView or require a replacement; COM/ActiveX may need interop or replacement; platform (32/64-bit) and deployment (target .NET runtime) choices matter. Some migration tools handle ADO -> ADO.NET mapping but won’t eliminate all manual work. ()

If the goal is also to learn VB.NET, start with Microsoft’s Visual Basic docs and short walkthroughs, then rebuild one form at a time (UI first, then data and logic). That gives a working submission faster and leaves room to improve later. Official guides and beginner tutorials make this straightforward. (learn.microsoft.com)

The answer seems very clear: You should write the project in VB.NET.

but i dnt knw abt vb.net so what should i do

Sounds like your teacher wants you to learn it, so learn it.

Also, drop the "chat speak" and write in actual English. It's against the forum rules.
