Hi Vikas,

Below is the translated code per your request:

<DllImport("iph lpapi.dll", ExactSpelling := True)_

Normally, you may use the following C# to VB.net converter to get the 90%
work done:
http://authors.aspalliance.com/aldot...translate.aspx

Note: this converter is not perfect, you should correct some syntax
manually.

Another way is using Reflector(a must have tool for .Net developer) to open
your assembly and switch the view language from C# to VB.net. This will
almost always give you a perfect translation.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Be aware that while Reflector will give you code with virtually no
adjustments required to compile, it has no way to provide local variable
names or comments - this makes the result of limited value since it's
partially obfuscated.

You are better off using a source code converter.

Hi David,

Yes, I agree that Reflector will not provide comment. However, if the code
is not obfuscated, it will provide the local variable names without any
problem, this conclusion is based on my test result.

Since Vikas did not mention any obfuscated code in his post, I assume
Reflector is a very convinient choice for him, if he wanted to translate
all the code in the assembly/project. Also, since Vikas has the source
code, it is not hard for him to obtain a not-obfuscated version of project
assembly, so I assume Reflector is a good choice in this situation. :-)

Anyway, thank you for pointint out the obfuscation issue of Reflector.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
