New Features:

• 2,000 Lines of Code Supported in the Trial Version

To allow more complete evaluation prior to purchase, the new trial version supports a maximum of 2,000 lines of code per project, instead of the previous 1,100 line limitation.

• Full Visual Studio 2012 support, including support for the new Await and Async keywords!

• Snippet Converter

You can now convert VB.Net and ASP.Net snippets without having to convert a full project, using a Visual Studio like editor.

• Edit VB.Net and C# Code Directly in the Converter

VB.Net and C# code can be directly edited in the converter, without having to find the corresponding lines in Visual Studio.  This is very useful when working a list of issues which have straightforward fixes, and navigating between the converter's problems/notes/errors and their corresponding positions in the Visual Studio project can be tedious.

A Visual Studio like editor is provided, complete with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and undo/redo.

• Easily Find and Open Most Recently Converted Projects

• Mark Items as "Worked"

A potential problem, conversion note, or compiler error can now be marked as "worked".  This is useful when working a list of items to correct and you want to keep track of which have been fixed.

• Accuracy improvements:

In spite of the more visible changes, most of the focus of version 3.00 has been on conversion accuracy.  There are too many to list, but some of the improvements are:

• Multiple accuracy improvements in VS 2008 and 2010 projects
• Improved accuracy in automatically detecting the Visual Studio version of a project.
• Fixed problem converting custom events.
• Fixed error converting events in interfaces which have attributes.
• Corrected error where mismatched casing in namespace lines wasn't being detected.
• Improved accuracy of detecting whether to convert a VB.Net "=" to a C# "=" or "==". 
• Fixed error converting some dllimport functions. 
• Fixed mismatched casing detection in labels / goto statements (prevent CS0159 errors).
• Cleaner conversion of ByRef arguments.
• Improved Case statement conversions.
• Fixed CLSCompliance issues (CS3008, CS3009 errors)
• Corrected errors converting iif statements which contained a type conversion.
• Fixed problem with autoimplemented properties in VB2010.
• Corrected error when converting a For Each loop control variable of me.variableName.
• Fixed error converting some methods which implemented interface methods.
• Corrected problem converting identifiers where the non-first term ended in a special character, such as $.
• Improved handling of CS0171, CS0571, and CS1620 C# compiler errors.
• Plus many more...

• The Conversion Test - Over 1000 New Projects Added:

This release was tested on 8,156 projects, containing over 5 million lines of VB.Net code.  All projects converted without C# compiler errors.
