C# To Vb.net

[Pirate]

HI EVERY1
I'm really wondering if there is any program that has the ability to convert VB.NET Code to C# or vice versa , like upgrading VB6 TO VB.NET

Thanx guys

Why do you want to do that? They can interoperate.

Well , I know that . Sometimes I find C# CODE and want ,for example a peice of that CODE in VB.NET .
No body answered yet .
thanx

You should just learn the C# syntax and translate it yourself, I think that is what most people are doing. Its really not hard.

I'll start you off:

'declaring a variable in vb
Dim MyVar As Integer
'goes: [variablename] As [Type]
 
'now in C#
Integer MyVar;
'goes: [Type] [variablename];
'the semicolon is the line terminator in C# so just about every line has it at the end

thanx Edneeis .
I found a lot of sites talking about C# for beginners but hoped I can find learning "C# in comparsion to VB". Just like the way you posted it .

one more question
if a vb project contained 10 lines of code , then after converting to C# must be 10 lines too ?

[Edneeis]

Maybe C# sometimes has more lines but usually less words:

'VB line count=7
Dim item As String
For Each item In Items
    If item="MyItem" Then
        Msgbox("I Found It")
        Exit For
    End If
Next
 
//C# line count=7
foreach (string item in Items)
{
   if (item=="MyItem")
   {
        MessageBox.Show("I Found It");
        //I don't think C# has an Exit For command
   }
}

Somethings are more lines because of the {} structure but that might be the only thing on a line. Also somethings are shorter or longer (i.e. doesn't need a seperate line in C# to declare the For item, but each Case in a Select Case needs a break; statement).

[hellswraith]

Instead of exit for, it is break in C#:

//C# line count=7
foreach (string item in Items)
{
   if (item=="MyItem")
   {
        MessageBox.Show("I Found It");
        break;
   }
}

Also, when you type break in the IDE, it will show you which loop it is breaking out of by making it bold. I think that is pretty cool.

[hellswraith]

And just so you know, you have some flexibility with your coding style. C# doesn't care about white space. Since you use the ; at the end of a statement, you can seperate or compress your code to what ever you like. Example:

foreach (string item in Items){if (item=="MyItem"){MessageBox.Show("I Found It");break;}}

Doesn't look very readable though.

u can do that in vb too use the :

MsgBox("") : MsgBox("")

[hellswraith]

Didn't know that....

[Pirate]

thanx all for the posts .I started learning C# . BYE BYE

[PT Exorcist]

yea...2 weeks ago i started switching from vb.net to C#...although at start it looked like a mess and ugly now i got used and already preferr it to vb.net

[Pirate]

IF you have long xp in VB.NET then you swiched to C# , do you think 2 weeks enough to master both C# & VB.NET since both are similar

[Lethal]

Not a chance in hell that you can master any language in two weeks..

[Pirate]

what if I said 2 years - Would be easy job

[PT Exorcist]

im reading a 900page book..i already had experience in vb.net so it's just a matter of sintax
