This is not for asp.net, but figured you might be able to pass this off to the correct place. The code converter sidebar tool maintained by Todd Anglin has a small bug in it. Its more of a facial feature.
When converting from VB->C# it will not convert if the casing in the statement in the VB code are not correct. VB Is not a case sensitive language but the IDE in vb will capitalize things for you. IE:
VB Code:
Public Class Test
End Class Test
is the same as:
public class Test
end class Test
In your code converter if you miss the capitalization of the keywords it returns an unknown error. I don't know if this is a problem with NRefactory or with the actual converter utility itself, but as released through your company I figured you guys would know how to handle this bug report.
Now I definitely agree with the fact that good coding practice would be to follow case. But with the fact that conversion to C# is all lower case anyway.. (Call it laziness) I decided to try it out.

Chris-
Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. This is probably a problem with NRefactory, but I don't the problem exists as you've described. In my tests with the online converter (converter.telerik.com, which uses the same converting engine), the conversions had no problem with these formats:
Public Class Test
...body
End Class
OR
public class Tests
...body
end class
Where it did seem to choke was on the capitalization of the sub methods. More specifically, it would not successfully convert if the "End Sub" keywords were in lower case. I'm not sure why the NRefactory engine chokes on this scenario, but I'll definitely pass along the feedback.
