VB.Net to C# Converter FAQ

• What versions of Visual Studio do you support?

All versions: Visual Studio 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2010 (next release).

• I'm a registered user.  Can I use the latest version?

  Yes!  Registered users get free upgrades for life.  Simply download and install the latest version.  It will install side by side with the old version and not impact it at all.  It will recognize that the old version is fully registered and also install as a registered version with no limitations.

• Is my VB.Net code guaranteed to translate to C# perfectly?

No automated converter can always translate VB.Net to C# perfectly. However, many programs do convert without errors.  The 101 sample projects from Microsoft convert and compile without errors, as do hundreds of other publicly available sample VB.Net programs.  Other sample programs do have minor problems converting, which are usually easily fixed manually.  Your individual results may vary, depending on quality of your VB.Net code to be converted.

• What types of VB.Net projects can be converted?

All project types: Windows Forms, Console, Windows Service, Web Forms, Web Control, Windows Control, Class Library, and Compact Framework projects.

• How Do I Convert VB.Net 2005 Web Projects?

You can convert VB.Net 2005 web sites by making them Web Application Projects. Web Application Projects is an add on to Visual Studio 2005 that creates project files (.vbproj) for VB.Net 2005 websites.

Once you make your website a Web Application Project, you can select the .vbproj file to convert. You can find out more about Web Application Projects here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8B05EE00-9554-4733-8725-3CA89DD9BFCA&displaylang=en

Not directly, but Visual Basic 6 projects can be upgraded with the VB6 Upgrade Wizard in Visual Studio.Net and then run through the converter.  Make sure the upgraded project compiles successfully in VB.Net before attempting to convert it to C#.
