C # to VB.Net conversion utility that correctly handles automatic properties?

Question

I hope this is not considered a duplicate, since it is more pointed than similar issues (I am curious to learn about some weaknesses in C # to VB.net conversion utilities).

I was looking for the use of such a .NET code converter tool to convert a class library to VB, since I am the only one in my group who is comfortable with C #. The problem I am facing is that it does not generate the correct VB for automatic properties. It creates empty get / set routines.

So this is:

public string TransactionType { get; private set; }

Becomes as follows:

Public Property TransactionType() As String
    Get
    End Get
    Private Set(ByVal value As String)
    End Set
End Property

Private _TransactionType As String
Public Property TransactionType() As String
    Get
        Return _TransactionType
    End Get
    Private Set(ByVal value As String)
        _TransactionType = value
    End Set
End Property

Answer 5

I would suggest checking out SharpDevelop (sometimes written as #develop). This is an open source .NET environment that, among other things, can convert (with some problems) from C # to VB.NET and vice versa.
