VB to C# Converter??

[Jimi]

I've just started looking into converting some code from VB.NET to C#
and was wondering if anyone's had any experience with any VB to C#
converters?

Thanks

Greets,

Perhaps one of the better tools that I've seen which can decompile to
one of several .NET languages, including managed C++, JScript.NET, C# and
VB.NET is the RemoteSoft Salamander Decompiler. It does, however, come with
a rather hefty price tag. If you are interested, they have a demonstraction
on their site which allows you to upload a compiled assembly and it will
decompile a certain number of methods in the code.

I went through a lot of this a few months ago and the converter I
ended up going with was Instant C# (www.instantcsharp.com). It
really pulled me through the ordeal of VB to C# conversion.

Also, there's a good small book from O'Reilly called "C# & VB.NET
Conversion Pocket Reference".

Hope this helps.

I've downloaded the demo for Instant C# and I think this is what I'm
looking for in a VB to C# converter. (got to play with it a bit
first though)

Thanks for the tip about Salamander, but I'm more interested in a tool
which converts source code, not the compiled assembly - isn't it the
case that you'll lose the comments, formatting, etc. with a tool that
converts the compiled assembly rather than the original source code?

So, given that I want source code converted and the price comparison,
I'm siding to Instant C#.

If you are looking for a less expensive product than Salamander, and
are willing to give up on comments, our Decompiler.NET generates high
level readable C# source code from compiled .NET assemblies, often
better than the original code. Decompiler.NET works so well that the
it decompiles itself 100% complete with full COM interop support and
obfuscation features. You can download a trial version of the product
and try it out on your compiled VB assembly to see how well it really

Look for Spices.Net Decompiler
(http://9rays.net/products/spices) - you can convert your .Net assemblies
to 6 allowed languages- IL, C#, J#, VB.net, C++, Delphi (Pascal)
