VB.net - C# converter - C# / C Sharp

Tana

Hi,

My company wants to migrate all our apps from vb.net to c#.
Can someone recommend a good migrate/convert tool?
I am hoping that such a tool can do a 90-95% work for me, and I will do the rest :)

I am using VS 2005.

thanks

Several such tools exist.

Local apps and web apps.

I do not use VS.

SharpDevelop has a little tool to do it.

You can find a lot of alternatives via Google.

90-95% does not sound unrealistic, but you may still
want a person to go over the code anyway.

Tana,

Be aware that converting from C# to VB.Net is much easier than visa versa and therefore there are much more good C#->VB.Net converters than good VB.Net -C# converters.

I hope this helps,

You can expect much better than 90-95%.
Try the various demo/trial editions of the available converters (including
ours), and pick the best one.

I don't think that's true. We make both VB to C# and C# to VB converters and
they each have major challenges:

VB to C#:
The main challenge is to sort out the extremely high level of ambiguity and
diverse syntax alternatives. In addition, there are syntax alternatives from
*many* years back that are still supported in VB.NET.

C# to VB:
One main challenge is parsing - since there is no one-to-one correspondence
of line to statement you have to be able to parse possibly fragmented or
combined C# lines into sensible C# statements. Another challenge is that C#
doesn't spell out everything in agonizing detail like VB, so you need to work
harder to identify things (e.g., is the entity after the colon in a class
header a class or interface?, e.g., which methods will need "Implements " tags
- you need to have logic to accurately determine that).

You mean that Tana can take any VB.Net -C# Sharp converter and it should
not be precisely your product?

While writing my text I was thinking about your product because I know how
attentionful you are. I am not sure anymore if I have expirience with your
product. However, I have seen much more C# -VB.Net converters than visa
versa.

I have not the idea that it is because there are more people converting from
C# to VB.Net (I have in fact lately only seen one in the language.vb
newsgroup who did that completely).

David,

I'm just curious. Does your C# to VB.NET converter handle anonymous
methods well?

It converts some cases of anonymous methods, but not all.
For example, anonymous methods referencing local variables in the scope of
the anonymous method call ('captured variables') are not converted.

David,

Yeah, I figured captured variables would be difficult to convert. In
fact, I'm not sure how you would do it without implementing part of the
C# specification. There are some intricate rules regarding the
lifetime of the captured variables. It would be cool if you could
somehow accomplish that without too much effort.
