VB.NET - Code conversion fron c# to vb.net - Asked By Gianfranco Vrech on 07-Aug-17 09:13 AM

Hi to all the ML.

I'v found an example in this site of code that I would like to use. It's written in c # and would like to convert it to vb.net.


The original code is : https://www.nullskull.com/a/10476706/xaml-datagrid-binding-data-columns-or-rows-dynamically-using-mvvm-design-pattern.aspx


The problem I found is in this sub:


private static DataGridTextColumn GetDataColumn(DataGridColumns columnName)
     {
       var column = new DataGridTextColumn();
       column.IsReadOnly = true;
       column.Header = columnName.DisplayColumnName;
       column.Binding = new Binding();
 
       column.Binding.Converter = new ColumnValueConverter();
       column.Binding.ConverterParameter = columnName.BindingPropertyName;
 
       return column;
     }

In vb.net should be written as follows:

  

Private Shared Function GetDataColumn(columnName As DataGridColumns) As DataGridTextColumn
    Dim column = New DataGridTextColumn()
    column.IsReadOnly = True
    column.Header = columnName.DisplayColumnName
    column.Binding = New System.Windows.Data.Binding()
 
    column.Binding.converter = New ColumnValueConverter
    column.Binding.ConverterParameter = columnName.BindingPropertyName
 
    Return column
  End Function

But I've some problems with the two lines beforte the return statement. Any ideas?

The last two lines reference a custom class in that article.  You'll find it towards the bottom of the page.  I suspect you did not include that class in your code.

The class to which it refers is in the same namespace. Import is not necessary.

Have you tried using the Telerik code converter.  A free online service.  Here is the link
