I've seen example code for doing Glass effects with C#, but not with VB.NET.

Is there a web page that gives examples on how to do this?

Why not just convert the C# to Visual Basic? It's not really that
complicated as you really just have to worry about the syntax
differences - both languages use the language libraries.

Thanks,

Why convert it? Simply create your resulting DLL and reference it in the
IDE. This is what I did for a C# glassy button found on Code Project web
site. The only real reason for converting it is to modify the code and you
feel better doing so in VB.NET, otherwise language doesn't matter.

Where such code snippets are small (and I haven't checked this one so I don't
know) I would always convert to the language I am already using (Normally
VB.Net).

The main reason for this is not that I don't like C#. (Although there are
some bits of it I am less keen on than others ;P )

It's more that I hate having to create additional projects/Dlls to house
code which logically belongs in a specific tier of my existing application.


My ideal scenario is to have a project ".VSProj" project type which would
accept code files of any recognised type and compile them down into one file.
Then I could mix Vb.Net and C# as appropriate to any given task without creating
new dlls all over the place.

I think I'm going to have to keep dreaming on this one though. MS has more
to gain bty the current situation. The more people who argue over VB vs C#
the less people there are considering Java etc :P
 
Get the C# source you need and compile it. Then go and get Lutz Roeders
Refletor for .Net from here: http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet load the C#
component then cut and paste the generated source into a new VB project.
There will be a few minor errors to correct, but not too many.

There is a MUCH easier way.


VB.NET to C#

and the other way around

C# to VB.NET
