VB.NET to C# Language converter

RB Emphasys

Does anyone know if there is a VB.net to C# language converter, and if so, where to download it? Thanks, Ryan

It's in the ASP.NET Resource Kit. You can download it free of charge here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/asprk/ it quite the download, but it's WELL worth it! :) ------------------------------- Joan MomComputerGeek.com

Opps, I'm sorry the ASP.NET Resource kit has the exact opposite of what your looking for. It converts C# to VB.NET... Sorry. It's still worth the download if you dont already have it. ------------------------------- Joan MomComputerGeek.com

Once compiled, it doesn't matter what the source language is. If you need to maintain the source, why not just learn VB.NET? It's just a different syntax. It uses assemblies in the same way that any other language can.

I tend to agree with you Heath, but my project manager has asked me to convert it, alas, I must do it. Anyone else know of any vb.net to c# converters? Thanks, Ryan

Why don't you mix some of them into your project? Then nobody on your team will be able to maintain your project. Job security, man! Top 10 Reasons to mix languages as much as possible: #10: Find all those hidden inter-language bugs before all your buddies! #9: Flaunt company coding standards #8: Help prepare you for the MCSD exams instead of working, like you're paid to do #7: Since nobody else can read your code, you stay employed longer #6: Unable to cut-and-paste between different languages forces better encapsulation and prevents clipboard inheritance #5: Adds at least one more language item to your resume! #4: Microsoft *never* has a history of modifying a language like VB after everyone has already learned it #3: Experience the magic of inter-language type-casting! #2: Because occasionally your semi-colon pinky gets tired And the top reason to mix languages in .Net as much as possible: #1: Just because your boss told you not to do it, doesn't necessarily mean you'll actually get fired for trying. - Tony Goggin

A quick and simple search on google turned up a couple, one of which is right here on CodeProject:
