very helpful. many thanks. Re-post Q and A inside

Has anyone knowledge of a tool that will convert PowerBuilder 9 source to C# source?
I know that there is no way a tool will convert to a fully functional code that will work right away, but if a tool does 80% of the work it would be a blessing.

I have tested a tool "pb2cs" that does some of the job, but it lacks a lot of converting.

Anyone has a way to do this?

answer
The GUI code is pretty simple, use the DataWindow.Net to generate IL and you're away. For the PFC stuff it's a bit more awkward, there are a few options. Infotech have a tol (I think it's called Songbird, but they want to sell you consultants to do the job) Ewaksoft have got a tool PowerMigrator which transforms PB to VB.Net, I used their PM tool years ago to do a PB-Java conversion and was pretty happy with the results, but don't know what the .Net stuff is like.

Good luck with the migration
