Converting from C# to Visual Basic .NET
First Created: Wednesday 23rd July 2008

I have been playing with C# to Visual Basic converters. There are a few around and I have included the best I came across. However right now there is one clear winner if you want to work with the new language features introduced in Visual Studio 2008 – that is Instant VB from Tangible Software.
Notes:
- I have only had a quick play with these – enough to know they have a place in helping move code over from C#
- I have ruled out a few others I found as they looked very dated
- Most DO NOT understand the new language features (such as LINQ) included in .NET Framework 3.5
- Tangible Instant VB does understand the new language extensions. I am using the demo install with decent results
- I hope SharpDevelop 3 will also support the new language extensions
- IMHO – we should include a converter “in the box” integrated into the IDE … ho hum…
Commerical
- Tangible Software - download
- Octopus .NET Translator http://www.remotesoft.com/octopus/
- This one needs your code to compiler first :-)
- Online demo for code snippets – but not as useful as others
