• Converts all projects in a solution from VB.NET to C#.
• Please backup / commit your files to source control before use.
• We recommend running the conversion in-place (i.e. not specifying an output directory) for best performance.
• See https://github.com/icsharpcode/CodeConverter for the source code, issues, Visual Studio extension and other info.
