FAQ

Q: Are the original C# files altered in any way?

Your existing code is left completely intact. The new VB.NET project is output to the new location that you specify.

Q: Can the converter produce VB6 code?

No - only VB.NET code is produced.

Q: Do you guarantee a 100% complete conversion?

No - our accuracy is very high, but there will be some adjustments required for all but the simplest conversions. Read the rest of the FAQ to get an idea of a few things that are not converted.

Q: Is C# code within ASP.NET files converted?

No - C# code within ASP.NET markup is not converted.

Q: What are the most common adjustments necessary after conversion?

'unsafe' code blocks and types are not converted.
VB does not allow assignments within expressions, but C# does (e.g., while ((x = y()) > 0) assigns a value to x as part of an expression). Instant VB will convert some cases, but will mark other more complex cases with a "ToDo" comment. You must manually adjust these.
Most reference type comparisons are converted, but occasionally you may need to manually change an equals sign to "Is". The VB compiler makes these adjustment requirements obvious.
VB does not allow overloading when it is based only on the direction of the parameters (ByVal vs ByRef). Methods overloading done this way will require renaming of the method name in VB.
Unfortunately, many new C# features beginning with C# 7 have no equivalent in other languages. The C# language now evolves very quickly on GitHub with only marginal oversight.
