Could someone please tell me, how easy or difficult , it is to transfer code
written in C++ to C#.
I wrote a program for FTP ( in C++), and need to translate that code in C#.
As a beginner of C# I'm not sure how much work is required, and I wanted to
get a feel of it before I started.
If someone could advise.
Thanks

It depends if you use new-style declarations (like the 'new' keyword) or
old-style (like malloc()) - the new-style is quite similar to C#. The main
problem is really memory management and pointers. If your app has tons of
pointers to structures (yuck!!) then you will likely be doing a lot of
coding...
The bottom line is if you took all the pointers and memory management out of
C++ - what's leftover is VERY simlilar to C#..

It depends entirely on the C++ style. If the C++ programmer expressed the
algorithm straightforward ly, using simple data types, then it will be easy.
If it's full of C++ tricks and obscurities, it won't be.

In addition to the other replies, which focus on the language issues, there
are the underlying platform issues.
It could be as simple as replacing socket with Socket and similar
substitutions, though I haven't looked at the two interfaces (Platform SDK
and .Net Framework) to see if there's more to it that that. And if your
C++ code is for UNIX, it could be far worse. I have no way of knowing
whether you'll come up against any serious problems in regard to this, but
even if you don't, dealing with the platform issues can be far more tedious
and error-prone than just dealing with the language issues.

hi;
I'm translating some PHP scripts to Python and have hit a roadblock
with a for statement. If someone could explain to me how one should
translate the multiple increment, evaluations, etc. in the first line
I would appreciate it deeply ...
for ($y = 0, $x = $cx-$cy-1; $y <= $cy; ++$y,++$x) {
$prd = $q * $y_ar + $car;
$prd -= ($car = intval($prd / 1E7)) * 1E7;

How do you best go about translating characters like '\\n' to '\n'?
This is for a configuration file parser, where the "backslash
convention" is supported.
The naive approach -- re.sub('\\\\(.)', '\\\1', s) -- doesn't work, of
course. The best I've come up with so far is a special case for every
character to be translated. There must be an easier way?

Hi guys
A bit of curve ball here ... I have a document (Word) that contains a series
of instructions in sections and subsections (and sub-subsections). There are
350 pages of them.
I need to translate these instructions into something that can be processed
automatically, so I have used the Command pattern to set up a set of
commands that correspond to the various instructions in the document.

I have resource files in different languages created by VCS 2005 Express.
I want to use those files to translate reports at runtime.
I have text to be translated as string.
I think I need to search resource file for this string id.
After that I need to return translated string from other resouce file ?
Is this best idea?
Where to find sample code which implements this ?
