Correct a mistake on the "Write for us" page

2012-05-11T15:43:58-07:00

Anonymous suggested:
I recently read the "Write for us" page and found a little mistake in the first paragraph of "What Can I Write About?" where it says "[...] be they desktop developers, web wranglers or mobile mavens, working with .NET, Ruby, PHP, Android, iOS, Windows, Android or Linux.". Android is mentioned twice.

Submitting code to be converted via URL [updated]

2012-05-03T00:28:10-07:00

Is there a way to post code to be converted via a URL instead of the site's web form? I can easily create a javascript bookmarklet in my browser to accept my code to be converted (via clipboard or current selection), so it would be nice to be able to submit that to the conversion site via a URL without having to first open a new browser window to the conversion site's web form. Great tool--use it frequently!

Aphillippe said:

that would be awesome, really speed things up. maybe separate bookmarklets for each conversion (e.g. c# to vb, vb to c# etc.)

z = x * (1 + r) ^ y in VB conversion [updated]

2012-04-19T10:48:59-07:00

Converts to z == x * (1 + r) etc. This is clearly an arithmetic operation but it is being converted to a boolean comparison

how about the == Operator. Ran across this in some code.

boolvalue = aValue == bValue;

translates into vb.net

boolvalue = aValue = bValue

mid statement not being converted properly

2012-04-19T08:10:24-07:00

gauthier suggested:
I want to convert some code which is using the mid statement (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xz5s6003.aspx), the statement as opposed to the function is used as a target for assignment. Dim TestString As String ' Initializes string. TestString = "The dog jumps" ' Returns "The fox jumps". Mid(TestString, 5, 3) = "fox" ' Returns "The cow jumps". Mid(TestString, 5) = "cow" ' Returns "The cow jumpe". Mid(TestString, 5) = "cow jumped over" ' Returns "The duc jumpe". Mid(TestString, 5, 3) = "duck" As explained there: http://www.vbforums.com/showpost.php?s=17e8fcab432e62648b66b024dd59572e&p=2583241&postcount=3 it is difficult to do that with inline code conversion, which would result in convoluted code. The conversion would benefit to use a method which takes a reference to the string to be modified. I would expect the conversion to result in this code: string TestString; // Initializes string. TestString = "The dog jumps"; // Returns "The fox jumps". MidStatement(ref TestString, 5, 3, "fox"); // Returns "The cow jumps". MidStatement(ref TestString, 5, "cow"); // Returns "The cow jumpe". MidStatement(ref TestString, 5, "cow jumped over"); // Returns "The duc jumpe". MidStatement(ref TestString, 5, 3, "duck"); with the automatic insertion of a static MidStatement method in the class containing the statements.

Thanks for such a great site ... your conversion from C# to VB.NET and vice-versa is AWESOME !!!!
