Forms2Net Migrations documentation

Forms2Net generates documentation at different levels during the migration process in order to support the developer during any subsequent editing of the program code.

Forms2Net Help

A collection, integrated in MSDN Help, with exact descriptions of the Forms2Net converter, the migration process, the architecture of the converted applications and the mapping schema primarily used for the conversion.

Comments in program code

The comments make it apparent where any subsequent manual editing of the program code is necessary and where particular care is advisable due to possible semantic differences between Oracle Forms and .Net. A link to the description of the topic in the migration manual will be added here to support the developer. Moreover, the comments added in Forms2Net will also be displayed in the task list of Visual Studio. 

Migrations manual

Contains a sample list with explanations and instructions for the integration of program codes for the cases where subsequent manual work could be necessary in this migrated application.
