Anonymous Types conversion

[Brian Mains]

Hello,

The code converter does not convert anonymous types well from  C# to VB.  Consider this:

var types = new[]
{
    new A { Key= 1, Name = 2 },
    new A { Key= 1, Name = 2 },
    new A { Key= 1, Name = 2 }
}

Does VB have an anonymous collection feature?  I don't think it does, so I always convert to:

Dim types As New List<A>()
types.Add(New A With { .Key = 1, .Name = 2});
.
.

But your code converter just does:

new A()
new A()

Something like that... I was hoping it would at least convert \

new A { Key= 1, Name = 2 },

to

New A With { .Key = 1, .Name = 2}

I understand if it doesn't create a list, but if it could convert the anonymous types correctly, that would help a lot.

Thanks.

Hello Brian,

Thanks for the feedback. It does seem that NRefactory should support this, so we'll try to update our engine soon. In the mean time, you can try your conversion here to see what NRefactory produces:

Hope that helps.
