Oh ok, I just wanted to know if it was possible to do without a complete re-write.

Thanks

There is another thing, of course. Rewriting the application to be more OOP is not always a good thing. It adds complexity, which may not be necessary if the application is small and unlikely to grow.

Maybe you can. But it is impossible to provide you with a sensible answer on how easy it would be for you without seeing the code, knowing your skill level etc etc.

I'm not looking for an automated way....but I was hoping I wouldn't have to re-write the whole thing. 2000 lines may not be a lot, but it took me a good month to write it all and get it working. However, looking at it now, I am thinking I should've learned about classes and objects. I guess I just programmed it the old-fashioned way using subs and functions. I was hoping I could take my existing code, and maybe just restructure or rewrite parts of it to take advantage of classes.

Thanks

There's no automated tool, if that's what you mean. "Easy" way? Depends on how complicated the app is, but 2000 lines of code is pretty small. I've sen samples of code for a single page that run to 500+ lines posted here. Shouldn't take you long to rewrite starting from scratch.

I have a VB.NET web app that is about 2000 lines of code, contains about 20 different subroutines, and about 50 different functions.

Is there an easy way to "rewrite" this to take advantage of classes and objects?

Thanks!
