Issues with Converting C#.NET code into VB.Net code

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:25:39 GMT

Feel free to add on for other issues with translating C# code as well as approaches and solutions so as many solutions as possible appear in one place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My translator (.Net Reflector 5.0) was unable to convert the C# "this" statement into something VB.Net understood.

For example the C# statement:
- this.ids = new ObjectIdCollection();

Got translated into:
- Dim CS$1$0000 As ObjectIdCollection

Any ideas how to properly translate this to VB.Net.... this is kind of like Abbot and Kostello's "Who's on First"....

That looks like a bad translation.

It looks like the variable 'ids' is declared as a variable in the Class. The keyword 'this' indicates it is a member of the current Class. A literal translation into VB.NET would look like:

{code}
Me.ids = new ObjectIDCollection()
{code}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Divya and Jerry,

The online code converter converted the C# code to exactly what Jerry noted.

Does Reflector not support the 3.5 .NET framework? (See Attached Image). Or is there some configuration thing I missed?...

I thought Reflector is the converter of choice? If not what is? Tony, what are you using? Edited by: HEnnulat on Nov 19, 2009 10:15 AM

Reflector doesn't always do a true translation of code.

I would probably try one of the online translators that are
available, searching the newsgroup should turn up a few
links to them if no one else can refer you to one.
