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:

http://community.sharpdevelop.net/forums/19/ShowForum.aspx

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!
