I have a CBuilder project that uses VCL extensively as well as Borland UI
components like forms. I need to convert the project to .NET.

Are there any shortcuts/tools/tips to facilitate the conversion?

Thanks,
Alen

If you are still using C++ you may want to consider MFC since some of the
classes are similar. I would create a new project in VC++ and cut and paste
code as needed to rebuild the application. Since lots of code in most
applications is underneath the UI there is usually a bunch that can be cut
and pasted without much modification.
