Converting C# to VB.net

  • Article

I had one reader from Germany contact me regarding porting a sample section of my blog posting on using the MpApi in .Net.  Unfortunately, I don't use VB.net that often and my time to port it to VB.net is limited, however I found a great online tool that can do this for you.

KamalPatel.net has a nice tool, ConvertCSharp2VB. It's rather simple, you copy and paste C# code into the form and it spits out the same code on VB.net.  Here's the sample in C# and VB.net that I used:

C# Sample
SmsMessagingClass messaging = new SmsMessagingClass();
ISmsMessage4 message, reply;
smsMessaging.CreateMessage(out message);
message.SetTargetEndpoint("MyDummyEndpoint");
message.SetPort(80);message.SetBodyFromString("MyMessageBody");

// Send the message using HTTP
messaging.Invoke("https://myHostname", message, out reply);

// Do something with the reply here...

VB.Net Sample
Dim messaging As SmsMessagingClass =  New SmsMessagingClass()
Dim message As ISmsMessage4,reply As ISmsMessage4
smsMessaging.CreateMessage( message)
message.SetTargetEndpoint("MyDummyEndpoint")
message.SetPort(80)message.SetBodyFromString("MyMessageBody")
 
' Send the message using HTTP
messaging.Invoke("https://myHostname",message,out reply)
 
' Do something with the reply here...
