VB to C# translation

[Daniel Rimmelzwaan]

I have been searching the VS.NET help files and the internet for hours for a
comparison between VB and C# of keywords, operators, other types of syntax,
but no matter what I type in the search box, it keeps giving me 500
articles, of which most are of no use to me, or have nothing to do with my
query. Does anybody know a good website for this?

I could post a question each time I run into something, but you'd see many
posts with my name, and I don't want to be reminded to read a tutorial every
time I post a simple question.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

Get a decompiler. Apart from saving you from learning MSIL, you can compile
VB code (or any language) and decompile it into C#.

Has a good list.

I generally find the MSDN index rather more useful than the search,
personally - it might be worth a try.

After a bit of searching, I've found:
http://www.dnzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=356

I haven't looked at it in detail, but I *think* it's the kind of thing
you're after.

I didn't mean any offence earlier - I was just suggesting that if you
weren't sure of the operators, then the operators section of a C#
tutorial would be a good thing to read. Please don't let my earlier
reply stop you from asking questions!

I think the following chapter (and sub-chapters) of MSDN is not too bad on
the topic:

Thanks, I will try that. That's probably also a good way of picking up the
odd interesting tidbit of unrelated information along the way.

No offence taken, I am notorious in my family for stinking at finding stuff
. My irritation is not with your reply, but from not getting the results I
want, and from being in a nested search (need info on MS CRM, then need info
on CRM Integration, then on COM+, then on Biztalk, then on Communication
components, then I get a piece of code that is not in C#, etc. etc), and
Microsoft doesn't really make stuff easy to find if you don't know where to
look. Trust me, I will not let you stop me from asking questions

You can simply use the 9Rays.Net Spices.Decompiler for these purposes.
