Telrik offers a nice code converter - try it here with your code:
http://converter.telerik.com/

By the way - the first underlined line seems to be an error for me - UnitConverter is not a kind of JavaScriptConverter.
For the second line you have to change the result:

System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i), i - 1);
TO
System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(ref i), i - 1);

I don't know if you found the missing UnitConverter or not, but Google sent me here so I thought I would update it.  The UnitConverter in the example (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/docking/is-it-possible-to-save-and-load-a-dock-s-collapse-state.aspx) has a UnitConverter class in the App_Code folder.  You have to create that class yourself in your solution.

Here is my converted C# version:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace YourNameSpace
{
    public class UnitConverter : JavaScriptConverter
    {
        public override object Deserialize(System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, object> dictionary, Type type, JavaScriptSerializer serializer)
        {
            if (dictionary == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("dictionary");
            }

            if (object.ReferenceEquals(type, typeof(Unit)))
            {
                double value = Convert.ToDouble(dictionary["Value"]);
                UnitType unitType = (UnitType)Enum.Parse(typeof(UnitType), dictionary["Type"].ToString());
                Unit unit = new Unit(value, unitType);
                return unit;
            }

            return null;
        }


        public override System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, object> Serialize(object obj, JavaScriptSerializer serializer)
        {
            Unit unit = (Unit)obj;

            if (unit != null)
            {
                Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
                dict.Add("Type", unit.Type);
                dict.Add("Value", unit.Value);
                return dict;
            }

            return new Dictionary<string, object>();
        }

        public override System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Type> SupportedTypes
        {
            get { return new ReadOnlyCollection<Type>(new List<Type>(new Type[] { typeof(Unit) })); }
        }
    }
}
