How Convert VB Project to C# Project

Romo Daneghyan picture Romo Daneghyan · Aug 4, 2014 · Viewed 82.1k times · Source

I have a project written in VB, and I need to convert the whole project to C# project. I don't want to do it file by file, I found some online converters, but they convert only lines of codes, not the whole project. I found on researches, and here was written that I saw this question , there was written that

"The best part about Sharpdevelop is it converts the whole project (source files) from VB and C# and the other way"

And I also researched on Google, that if you Right Click on the project, I found here , that "Right click on the project in the Projects window and select Convert - From VB.NET to C#". But when I right click on The Project in the Projects window, I can'd find that "Convert". Is there any tool I have to install for SharpDevelop and then I will be able to convert my project ? Thanks

I am assuming you tried SharpDevelop 5 since the conversion feature was missing in that version.

The VB to C# code converter from the SharpDevelop team is now a standalone extension to Visual Studio. Once installed, you can convert an entire VB.NET project to C# by opening the solution, right clicking the solution node in the Solution Explorer and selecting Convert to C#.
