I’ve been converting all kinds of other things, classes, interfaces, ASP.NET MVC apps, and WPF applications, but I am stumped as to how to convert a windows forms application, as the whole structure seems to be different. Does anyone have any advice on how to tackle this problem?

I see essentially that you have two files, Form1.cs and Form1.Designer.cs. Literally translating them from C# to VB doesn’t work because of some intricacies or other of how Visual Basic works. I think you /might/ be able to convert Form1.cs in this way, as it’s just a constructor plus event handlers, but the designer contains the references to the controls etc. and I am not sure how to go about doing that.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.

    My approach would be to create a new form in VB do add some forms and add events and look at the VB generated from there you will be able to see how each element [control/event/propertyset] is done in both C# and VB. From there it should be trival to conver from c# to VB.net. This would give me more confidance the designer could cope with the converted class as well as the runtime.
