title: Porting a PowerBuilder Application to .NET
body: <p>Does anyone have any advice for migrating a PowerBuilder 10 business application to .NET? </p>
  
  <p>My company is considering migrating a legacy PB application to .NET (C#) and I am just wondering if anyone has any experience - good or bad - that you would like to share.</p>
  
  <p>The application is rather large with 10 PBL libraries, some PFC as well as custom frameworks. There are a large number of DLL calls being made as well. Finally, it uses a Microsoft SQL Server database.</p>
  
  <p>We have discussed porting the "core" application code to .NET and then porting more advanced functionality across as-needed.</p>
