VB<>C# translator

I am looking for a VB<>C# translator to translate code for whole projects.

Also, I am looking for C# compiler source code, to translate C# into javascript.

I read Rocky’s blog also: http://www.lhotka.net/weblog/VBCConversions.aspx


So, I checked out: http://www.sharpdevelop.net.

I downloaded it, ran it. The translator works for a “hello world”, but it seems it cannot handle new features in VB.net 2.0. It gave me partial class errors and other errors

I did not dig into it further.

I looked around, there are other similar but commercial tools.
http://www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com/
http://www.vbconversions.net/

However, their trial version is limited to 1000 lines or 700 lines code per project.

I will stop here for a while. If you have more info, please add your comments.

  1. I tried this free online utility. Results were ok.

  2. Any thing that can do project level -- the whole project, instead of file by file.

  4. no. Just testing waters. Only commercial ones are usable (I assume); and their trial version is limited to 700 or 1000 lines.

    They are not expensive though.
