I converted my vb.net to c# Now what

Question

I program with visual basic and want to port a vb program to my iPhone. So I converted my vb program to C#. I used the conversion extension to convert my program and after cleaning up several errors, I managed a successful conversion. Now in my solution explorer, I have both .vb forms and .cs forms. For example, I have myapp.vb and myapp.cs, myapp.designer.vb and myapp.designer.cs but I only have one .resx file. How do I run the C# version of the program and not the vb version?

Answer 1

you should remove the vb forms. the resource file is the same for both.

but if your goal to run on the iPhone, then you need to redo the forms anyway. winforms (or WPF) is not supported on non-windows o/s's (iPhone)

you should create a new Maui project, and build the new forms with Maui xmal. You can copy some of the code behind, but it will require changes.

hopefully, you used separate projects for non UI layers, but if not, you can just copy the code to the new project.

note: while you can develop Maui apps on windows, you will need a Mac with Xcode installed to actually build and test the iPhone app. You will also need an apple developers license ($99/year) to sign and run the app.
