How to convert this VB code to C#?

[Jason Huang]

Hi,

I would like to convert the following Visual Basic code to C#, does someone
has free tool to convert it?



Function PreConnect() As Boolean

Dim strDSN$, strUidPwd$, strDatabase$, strConnect$

Dim hFile As Integer, strBuffer As String

' open and read

hFile = FreeFile

Open App.Path & "\" & etcBootFile For Input As hFile

Line Input #hFile, strBuffer

strUidPwd = Decode(strBuffer)

Line Input #hFile, strDSN

Line Input #hFile, strDatabase

Close hFile

' try connect

If strDSN = "" Or strUidPwd = "" Then Exit Function

strConnect = "ODBC;DSN=" & strDSN & ";" & strUidPwd & ";DATABASE=" &
strDatabase

' pre-connect

PreConnect = ConnAttemp(strConnect)

End Function



Function Decode(strWhat$) As String

Decode = Encode(strWhat)

End Function

' 5/23

Function Encode(strWhat$) As String

Dim i As Integer, strResult As String

Dim b As Byte

For i = 1 To Len(strWhat)

b = Asc(Mid(strWhat, i, 1)) Xor etcEncodeKey

strResult = strResult & Chr(b)

Next

Encode = strResult

End Function



Thanks for help.

Compile and use Roeder's Reflector is one option. Most of the .NET
"decompilers" create C# code.

That code is VB not VB.net

(Thanks Jon)

Note that while not free, we do offer Demo Editions which convert snippets
up to 100 lines.

Note also that Instant C# only converts Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace
functions which have direct, unambiguous, functionally-equivalent methods in
the .NET Framework. The VB file functions are left as calls to the
Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace (but many string and date functions, MsgBox,
IIf, and constants are converted).
