[RESOLVED] Converter VB2005 to JAVA

[abaharloo999]

Hey People!

Is there any way to convert VB 2005 application (Windwos Form) to JAVA?!

[jmcilhinney]

Sure there is. Work out what your VB code does and then write Java code that does the same thing.

lol... thanks for your help... but what if i don't know anythin in Java?!

[jmcilhinney]

Then you'd be out of luck. May I ask why you want to convert something to a language you know nothing of?

[abaharloo999]

well, i developed an application, and by friend wants in java... he just wants to see how it is in java, i personally don't need it...

[jmcilhinney]

That's all very strange. You, who knows no Java, have written an application in VB.NET and your friend, who knows no Java, wants to see how it would look in Java. I might ask my friends to speak to me in French from now on. Never mind we none of us know any French.

Programming languages are not simply interchangeable. The simpler a program is the more chance that the equivalent in another language will look similar, but even then there's no guarantee. Add to that the fact that Sun, who don't like Microsoft, developed Java and Microsoft, who don't like Sun, developed VB.NET and you've got a high likelihood that things will be kinda different in the two languages.

Someone who knows both languages could almost certainly convert a simple app by hand, but I'm not aware of any automated tool. Maybe you could learn C#, then convert your VB code to C#, then learn J# and convert your C# code to J#. Then converting it to Java should be easy.

lol... thanks... then i should get started with learning these stuff... anyways, thanks
