I need to convert this Project from C# to VB.Net

[OnAir]

I love the semi-transparent type of splash screens that Adobe uses. I found an example that works nicely, however it is writen in C#. I have found converters that convert code snippets, but how do I convert an entire project to vb.net? Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Oh, yeah... here is the C# project:

That's a very good product and I use it myself, but you need to decide whether it's worth the money to you.

You could just create your own VB project with the appropriate classes and then just translate the code piece by piece. Slower but cheaper, plus you might learn something along the way.

It should also be noted that about 80% of C# and VB code should translatable by eye for even an intermediate level developer with experience in only the target language. They really aren't all that different if you actually read the code.

If I remember correctly SharpDevelop also converts whole projects VB-C#.

I always use http://labs.developerfusion.co.uk/convert/csharp-to-vb.aspx

But honestly.. there's no point converting it if you can use it directly.. Just compile it to a DLL and add it to your project.. or better still, add the project to your visual studio.. C# and VB.NET are the same under the hood, the debugger can step back and forth between C# and VB.net projects without a hitch.

You could also learn C#.. it's a much nicer language and the editor is far superior to VBN's editor

C#.. it's a much nicer language and the editor is far superior to VBN's editor

"Nicer" is a relative term, plus I think you'll find that the VB code editor has closed the gap in 2008.

Oh.. they got rid of that silly notion of using () for both methods and indexers? And you not can say for sure that This() is a method and This is a property? Cool
