The converter gives error for "String*1"

[partha]

I had vb code containing the line

Dim strChar1 As String*1

The C# converter didn't understand this and gave the following error

CONVERSION ERROR: Code could not be converted. Details:

-- line 6 col 26: invalid EndOfStmt

Please check for any errors in the original code and try again.

When I commented out this line, it converted fine.

Hi partha,

The asterix symbol is a special character and I suppose the converting pointers is not supported by our online converter (other free online converters does not have support for that as well). We will consider improving this aspect of the code converter in the future - thank you for drawing our attention to this detail.

Hello partha,

As a quick note, our online converter uses the open source NRefactor conversion engine developed by the SharpDevelop contributors. I'd encourage you to report this issue on their forums, too, so that support can be fixed in the source open source project:

Hopefully we'll be able to provide a fix soon!
