Version 5.02 contains a number of improvements, thanks to the detailed feedback and interaction with many customers.

Conversion Improvements:

• Improved lambda function conversion accuracy.
• Added support for .Net Framework 4.7, which broke Tuple support in Visual Studio 2017 projects.
• Fixed compatibility issue converting Visual Studio 2003 projects on Windows 10.
• Improved accuracy of My.Resources conversions.
• Fixed issue converting async inline functions.
• Improved non-static initializer detection.
• Improved conversions of enums declared as a type other than integer, such as ushort.
• Improved detection of correct overloaded method to use in complex scenarios.
• Improved conversion of expressions referencing complex implicitly typed variables.
• Fixed error converting embedded case statements within a Select Case True block.
• Fixed issue converting Array.Empty(Of TypeName), where the () was added before the <TypeName> instead of after.
• Fixed issue of Array.Empty not being recognized as a static initializer and the assignment being moved to a class constructor.
• Improved conversion of generic arguments requiring (), like .OfType(Of TypeName). Parens are added in the initial conversion, and not relying on compiler error correction.
• Generated variables for With statements are now implicitly typed.
• Corrected conversions of MySettings.SettingName
• Fixed an issue converting a varible declared as type My.MySettings
• ChrW(intLiteral) is converted as (char) intLiteral instead of Strings.ChrW(intLiteral), to allow initial assignment to constants.
• Chr(intLiteral) is also converted as (char) intLiteral instead of \unnnn syntax, unless an initial assignment to a string constant is necessary.
• Improved accuracy of AddressOf conversions, when initialized in a variable declared with a generic type.
• Calling TryRemove method of ConcurrentDictionary.TryRemove is now passed with “out” instead of “ref” for the second argument.
• AddHandler/RemoveHandler doesn’t unnecessarily wrap routines with event handlers.
• Corrected problem converting “a is b” within a Case expression.
• Improved conversion of generics, prevent output of terms like “System.Func`2” when converting code.
• CStr is now converted as Convert.ToString() instead of .ToString(), to avoid possible null reference exceptions at runtime.
• Improved routine resolution. Fixed issue where a custom routines would be incorrectly resolved to like named routines in referenced assemblies.
• Short literals assigned to an object variable are now casted to short rather than being converted as an integer literal.
• ASP.Net projects: Improved tag parsing, language detection, correctly parsing server side comments, added support for ashx files
• Improved accuracy of converting Iterator functions.
• The converter now does not apply unnecessary type conversions to variables with implied types
• Improved accuracy of CS1061 compiler error correction.
