New Converters Reduce the Pain of Converting C++ Code

Tangible Software Solutions Inc. announced today the release of C++ to C# Converter version 1.0 and C++ to VB Converter 1.0. C++ to C# Converter and C++ to VB Converter translate C, C++, Managed C++ (VC++ 2003), and C++/CLI (VC++ 2005) source code to C# and VB at the file and code snippet levels.

"C++ is such a complex language compared to C# and VB that most developers have assumed that any useful degree of automated conversion was impossible," says Dave Doknjas, president of Tangible Software Solutions. “Although these two new tools provide just the first step in migrating C++ to C# or VB, it produces a high quality result which can then be brought to production quality C# or VB code with less effort than recoding everything from scratch.”

C++ to C# Converter and C++ to VB Converter also offer customization features to allow users to specify their own C++ library function call replacements. "C++ to C# Converter and C++ to VB Converter are primarily syntax converters, replacing only the most obvious C and C++ function calls that have direct .NET equivalents, but we also allow you to specify your own replacements for C++ function calls. This minimizes the number of adjustments required in the converted code," says Doknjas. “You can specify the replacement of function calls with static or instance method calls where one of the original arguments becomes the instance variable.” Other options include general custom string replacements, placement of braces and indentation options.

Both C++ to C# Converter and C++ to VB Converter retail at US$99 per user and include help documentation and free updates and technical support for one year. The demo editions of C++ to C# Converter and C++ to VB Converter are available at: http://www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com/Demo.htm
