.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / July 2007Glass effect with VB.net?
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? > 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, Seth Rowe May i suggest: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/Utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx Built off the SharpDevelop Code Converter.

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. > 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 convert it?

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 -- Rory Completely understand :-) I have not tried this but you might want to check it out, looks close to what you are looking for but not exactly http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=3650&lngWId=10 >> Why convert 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. Regards Neal >> Why convert it? Simply create your resulting DLL and reference it in >> the IDE.

VB.NET to C# http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertvbtocsharp.aspx and the other way around C# to VB.NET http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx > Get the C# source you need and compile it.
