  This problem happens in almost all converts

  
  

  from C#

  
  

  public string myVar { get; set; }

  
  

  to VB:
  

  
  

  Public Property myVar() As String

  Get

  End Get

  Set

  End Set

  End Property

  
  

  witch is very wrong as you can see, it should be:

  
  

  Private _myVar As String

  Public Property myVar() As String

  Get

  return _myVar

  End Get

  Set

  _myVar = value

  End Set

  End Property

  
  

  glad to help

  Bruno-

  
  

  Thanks for reporting the issue. You are correct- the Code Converter does not handle automatic properties very well. This is a problem in the root coversion engine, NRefactory. In fact, you verfiy this by running your conversion the SharpDevelop converter (the people that work on building NRefactory):

  I'd suggest sending the feedback via the NRefactory bug reporting forum, which is located here:

  Hopefully that helps. I apologize that the converter cannot handle this new C# feature. Hopefully the NRefactory project will be able to find a way to support automatic properties in the future!
