Perhaps everyone else already knows this but Kamal Patel has a tool on the web for converting C# code to vb .net code which I am finding very useful for understanding examples and getting my brain around being able to translate quickly in my head between the two most popular .net languages

Thought I'd share it here in case anybody else is as new to all this as I am.  BigGrin

Hey Charles.

This one I hadn't seen yet... thanks for the tip! Wink

Nice, a free web-based tool.  That's perfect for translating quick samples.  We have a tool that will translate an entire project, but it's kinda overkill for short samples.  Thanks.

Ooo, it even has a free offline version with full source code.

Here's one I find useful. It lets you convert both ways:

This open source .net ide is useful for converting modules and projects:

I try sometimes to use codeproject's controls and tools and try to convert c# projects to vb and have to spend 1 to 3 hours to fix the conversion, I can question what program you use to convert the entire project? w00t



thanks a lot!

There are two that we use that work very well.  They each have their strengths and genreally when one doesn't convert a project the other will.  I have been very impressed with these tools.  We use them for our samples as well so we can maintain a single code base instead of two.  We have to make a few changes, but it makes short work of it.

Instant VB and C# has two products and goes between both langauges.  The latter only converts to C#.  Hope this helps.
