How to use VB to C# conversion service (4) - declaration-section mode

(Click here for Part 3)

declaration-section mode converts the declaration section (module variables and user-defined types (Type)) at the beginning of the file.

1. Open the conversion service page.

2. Select 'declaration section'

3. Paste your VB code from the declaration-section into the left textarea "VB code".

4. Press the middle ">>" button.

5. The translated C# code will be displayed on the right side textarea.

Since the C# code is incomplete in the image, the full code snippet is provided below for accurate conversion.

 class UsrRecord01
    public string FirstName; //First name
    public string LastName; //last name
    public int Age; //age
    
    public void LSet(string s)
    {
    }
    
    public string ToLSet()
    {
        string s = "";
        s += this.FirstName.ToString();
        s += this.LastName.ToString();
        s += this.Age.ToString();
        return s;
    }
}

class Program
{
    public static int mdlVar01;
}
          

Additional notes on the generated code:

• User-defined types are converted to C# classes.
• The LSet() and ToLSet() methods are created to handle VB's LSet statement, but you can be removed if you are not needed.
• Module-level variables are converted to member variables within the Program class. You can either modify the Program class or extract the variable definition section for use.
