Makes me wonder, though ...
... about where they kept the camera around take-off time (between ~20 and ~45 seconds into the video).
Not sure whether mere zooming can achieve this. Or is it mixed with graphics?

Yes, an interesting point.

Just tried the free version[^] on a small VB project.
The tool ROCKS! Only a couple minor things needed to be cleaned up, and it also puts comments in for where it made important decisions. Simple user interface, it generates a complete folder with solution files and project files (as in, it doesn't just convert VBarf, it actually rebuilds the entire solution for you with C# code.)
Recommended.

And miss out on a perfect opportunity to write some good 'ol VB!? NEVER! 
[Edit]
I read that the other way around. The VB has already been written...
I guess someone already took that perfect opportunity

Looks like an awesome tool, need to add to the Free Tools[^] section.

The scary thing is, the VB code wasn't compiled with the Strict option (one reason why VB sucks.) I enabled it on a small project and there were probably 100 errors. I also discovered the machinations the previous programmer went through to implement "static" objects. OMG. What a disaster.

I feel for you.
Sixteen years ago I took a contract where they used VB6. I couldn't believe how bad some VB programmers coded.
Fortunately, I haven't looked at a VB program since 2002 when the contract ended, and hopefully never will ever again.

Must try it out Monday. The once I've used in the pass have been more problematic then beneficial
Thanks

I've used one of their trial products to see what some legacy java code would look like when converted to c# - it took a bit more 'hand polishing' of the result, but I learned a whole lot about java reflection thence c# reflection on the 'journey'
Their product gets a thumbs up from me - with the caveat, crap (any language in) => crap (any language out)

Have a look at ILSpy[^]
It does dll to c# well enough, so you don't even need the vb code ...

VB6 or VB.net?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would assume vb.net since it converts to C#. That's what I tried.

If that's all it does, MEH. Lots of tools that can do that reasonably well already.

The Convent was running low on money, so Sister June got a job in the local pub. Quickly she became the Employee of the Month – she was the best bar nun.
