VB to C# Converter
-
Just tried the free version[^] on a small VB project. The tool ROCKS! Only a couple minor things needed to be cleaned up, and it also puts comments in for where it made important decisions. Simple user interface, it generates a complete folder with solution files and project files (as in, it doesn't just convert VBarf, it actually rebuilds the entire solution for you with C# code.) Recommended. :) Marc

Looks like an awesome tool, need to add to the Free Tools[^] section.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site. I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

I sincerely hope I will never have to look at a VB program, ever. X|

The scary thing is, the VB code wasn't compiled with the Strict option (one reason why VB sucks.) I enabled it on a small project and there were probably 100 errors. I also discovered the machinations the previous programmer went through to implement "static" objects. OMG. What a disaster. Marc

I feel for you. Sixteen years ago I took a contract where they used VB6. I couldn't believe how bad some VB programmers coded. Fortunately, I haven't looked at a VB program since 2002 when the contract ended, and hopefully never will ever again.

And miss out on a perfect opportunity to write some good 'ol VB!? NEVER! :-D [Edit] I read that the other way around. The VB has already been written... I guess someone already took that perfect opportunity :D [/Edit]

I've used one of their trial products to see what some legacy java code would look like when converted to c# - it took a bit more 'hand polishing' of the result, but I learned a whole lot about java reflection thence c# reflection on the 'journey' Their product gets a thumbs up from me - with the caveat, crap (any language in) => crap (any language out)

Have a look at ILSpy[^] It does dll to c# well enough, so you don't even need the vb code ...

VB6 or VB.net?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I would assume vb.net since it converts to C#. That's what I tried. Marc

If that's all it does, MEH. Lots of tools that can do that reasonably well already.
