How to Port to .net or .net Core.
1. Download Visual Studio 2008.
2. Open your VB project with it and chose convert and run the wizard (begin with the server, its easiest).
3. Run your new vb.net server, and fix all the common errors that appeared.
4. Remove your frmServer and create a new form called ServerWindow (move some data if needed from frmServer).
5. Download https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11422/Winsock-NET
6. Implement winsock net to your project.
7. If you have byte arrays you will have more difficulties, I had to rewrite all of modBuffer etc.
8. Make sure things work, connect the client.
I'm almost done now I think, but this just covers the porting, not the improving. If anybody wanna try Im more than happy to assist with questions. I will probably make a more detailed post later, but hey I dont think anybody else is actually gonna try it so i'll wait
