In this article Jose Mojica, author of COM+ Programming with Visual Basic from O'Reilly & Associates, describes one compelling reason to migrate to Visual Basic .NET now: version control.

Mojica details the process used by Visual Basic 6 (VB 6) to assign Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) and how it may lead to a new GUID being assigned each compile time, even if no method has been changed. He then describes a technique to solve VB 6 code versioning problems by creating VB .NET custom type libraries.
