+---- Thread: [.NET] Converting a vb.net project to c# (/showthread.php?tid=5451362)
Converting a vb.net project to c# - Seifer - Nov 1, 2016
Hey HF I got a fairly large project made in vb.net which is a language I am fairly useless working with xD
Okay so I am trying to convert the entire project to c#, I know this is possible to a degree using sharpDevelop however this project relies on a dll.
Is it possible to still convert the project? 😧 Maybe by somehow decompiling the dll and the recompile for c#? :P
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated 🤝
Thanks for reading.

What you're fairly useless working with is your IDE........
Why don't you reference the dll in your main C# project ???
Done.

I thought a vb compiled from vb only worked with vb 😧
However this means that the project didn't convert correctly as I am getting a ton of errors now, I thought this was because it was referencing a vb dll but if this does not matter then I got a lot of work to do x-x
Thanks for the info 🤝

How 'large' is your project? (lines of code, size etc)
I might be able to do it for you but not for free.

Use SharpDevelop (version 4.4) which allows you to convert the whole C# project to VB.NET and vice-versa.
It's really fast and only needs like 4 clicks to complete the process.

If You have the code:
I've only used the online converter options. I'm not familiar with any tools out there which automate this but there may be. In the past I've done it file at a time with a online converter. You'll need to setup another solution, recreate file for file with your references. It amounts to a lost of copy and pasting in and out of the tool. This could be tedious and worth exercising your google fu for an automated option.
If you only have a DLL:
Download and install Reflector. I believe Telerik owns it but there are other .Net decompilers out there. Some will display the IL in C# or VB.Net

Thanks for the offer but I just found out that one of the developers from the project I am trying to convert went has recreated it with more features in C#, its not open source yet but is going open source soon 🤗

You can use the DLL in C#

vb.net and c# both are .Net so you can basically use the dll in C#
