Wasn't there some wizard in Visual Studio 2008 that would take a visual basic 6 project and convert it?

Yes, the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion (VBUC) tool allowed you to do this. It did ship as part of VS at one point, named the Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard - as you mentioned circa 2008.

The tool was as paid-for tool published by ArtinSoft - now known as Mobilize.Net, but by using the code "MSDN" they would give you a licence to convert projects with up to a 10,000 lines of code (LOC).

If your project is bigger than 10,000 LOC they have an assessment tool that performs analysis and sends back a report to the publisher and they would give you a quote on the cost to convert.

I'd still manually re-invent the logic in .NET - from memory the tool was ok, but you'd then spend hours dealing with cruft and refactoring code anyway.
