gmBasic is a computer language processor that reads, interprets, and rewrites VB6/ASP/COM systems for the .NET platform (using C# or http://VB.NET ). Based on feedback from our clients and real-world modernization projects, we continuously improve gmBasic so it will help developers more easily produce cleaner, more correct upgrade results. Most recently, this work includes general improvements needed to automatically produce a build-complete C# version of an enterprise-level financial management system for security and alarm companies. This large desktop application is comprised of 185 inter-related VBP files referencing 1.2M total LOC in 2,696 code files (including 682 ActiveReports Designers) and using 72 third-party COM libraries. The distribution,Version 50.10, has several important enhancements.
Powered by gmBasic, gmStudio is a platform for analyzing code and developing custom VB6/ASP/COM to .NET upgrade solutions. We are continuously adding functionality to gmStudio and making it easier to use. This distribution includes several enhancements:
gmAPI is a .NET API for automating our upgrade engine and accessing the semantic models produced by our unique linguistic compilation technology. gmAPI also includes classes for managing complex upgrade rules and integrating external migration tools with gmStudio. We maintain and improve gmAPI and related components to keep them in sync with the platform and add new features.
The gmStudio platform includes advanced reporting services that allow you to gather extremely detailed information about your legacy system. The advance reports include Symbol Tables, Symbol References, Symbol Definitions, Model Audits, and more. We maintain and enhance these advanced reporting services to keep them in sync with the model schema and add new features. SeeSemantic Reportsfor more information.
gmStudio ships with a collection of sample upgrade rules that can be used to add custom features to your upgrade solution. These XML documents and gmSL scripts are distributed as source that you may modify to fit your unique requirements. The sample rules were updated to reflect the latest product improvements and conventions. See also additions and changes ingmStudio Extensions Repository.
gmRTL is a sample runtime library that contains classes allowing for more readable translations. We continuously improve this framework in during project work. Learn more about gmRTLhere.
Great Migrations publishes several sample VB6/ASP upgrade solutions that illustrate the various upgrade features. The samples upgrade solutions and results were updated to reflect the latest product improvements and conventions. Learn about the Sampleshere.
Great Migrations publishes FAQ articles and other information to help teams learn and use gmStudio. You can findall of the gmStudio FAQs on the Great Migrations portal.The following “Support Statement” articles were added or updated since the last product update:

Powered by gmBasic, gmStudio is a platform for analyzing code and developing custom VB6/ASP/COM to .NET upgrade solutions. We are continuously adding functionality to gmStudio and making it easier to use. This distribution includes several enhancements:

We maintain and improve gmAPI and related components to keep them in sync with the platform and add new features.
In this release we introduce an innovative approach for gmAPI integration. The new approach allows .NET developers to define custom features and activate them with user-defined statements in translation scripts. When detecting a user-defined statement, gmBasic will delegate processing to the designated extension DLL. Extension DLLs may use .NET code and gmAPI to automate services that access information in the semantic translation model. The user code may inspect and alter the information model, edit source and generated code, and integrate external information and processes. The new approach seamlessly extends gmBasic making it easier to use custom processing with gmStudio and it also allows much easier debugging extension code in Visual Studio.
We updated many of gmStudio’s advanced features to use the new approach.
The gmStudio platform includes advanced reporting services that allow you to gather extremely detailed information about your legacy system. The advance reports include Symbol Tables, Symbol References, Symbol Definitions, Model Audits, and more. We maintain and enhance these advanced reporting services to keep them in sync with the model schema and add new features. See Semantic Reports for more information.
In this release, gmMetrics.exe has been replaced by gmPL_Search.dll. gmBasic.exe automatically engages the services of gmPL_Search.dll to handle advanced reporting commands in gmPL scripts.
