When converting code that has no c# equivalent from vb or vice versa , the converter just gives a comment line
along these lines

// ERROR: Not supported in C#: WithStatement


Is it possible to at least include the code commented underneath that has been "excluded" ?
Especially when converting multiple files it can be quite laborious and difficult to go backwards and forwards between original files to track whats missing and do the conversion manually. At least if its included we can do the conversion ourselves directly with ease.

Please :)

Kenneth-

Thanks for the feedback! That is definitely a good idea and we'll try to explore the possibility of customizing the NRefactory engine to do that. I agree that it would be much easier to simply comment out the "unconvertable" code and add "TODO" comments so those lines are easy to find post-conversion.

I uploaded a VB file and all I got back was a report with no C# code.  The end of the report was:

Report Details:
================================================
No potential conversion problems found in uploaded files.

Thanks for the feedback. That is definitely an odd behavior. Can you send me the VB file (or a similar one that replicates the problem) so that I can test locally? We obviously don't save any code after conversions, but having your code will help us diagnose.

I had to add a .gif to the file, as it only allows image files to be attached.

That did not work either as I received the following:

Hello Jim,

Indeed only image attachments are allowed in our public forums. You should either start a regular support ticket and provide the VB.NET code there or post a screenshot with short code snippet in this forum thread.

Also feel free to email your file to me: anglin at telerik dot com. You should probably send it as a plan .txt file to avoid any potential spam attachment problems. Either way, when we get to take a look at your file, we'll try to provide more insight regarding the conversion error you're seeing.

Hi Todd,

I tried to send it, but only graphics can be sent. So I guess I'll just forget it.  Thanks anyway.

Hello Jim,

In addition to the options explained previously in this thread, you can paste your code using the 'Format code block' dialog of the forum editor.
