Go directly to the <a href="FormatCode.aspx">Code Formatter</a> (supports ASP/XHTML, BAT, Boo, Coco, C++.NET, C#, |

HTML, Java, JavaScript, Patch, PHP, TeX, VBNET, XML) |

The code formatting capability is also exposed as a Web service. A <a href="CodeFormatClient.aspx">sample client application</a> is available |
|
for download. Please note: SharpDevelop ships with \Samples\HtmlSyntaxColorizer on which this Web service is built upon. |

<p class="page_title">Code Conversion as a Web Service</p> |
|
<p> |
|
If you want to use code conversion in your code, you can call the <a href="ConvertService.asmx"> |
|
Convert Service</a>. It is really simple to use: reference the service, and |
|
you are good to go. Please use the method Convert (the others are deprecated), and the first |
|
parameter has the following options: cs2vbnet, vbnet2cs, cs2boo, vbnet2boo. If conversion |
|
fails, you can look at the ErrorMessage to see what went wrong. Otherwise, ConvertedSource |
|
will contain the source code in the target language. The service is doing the exact |
|
same steps as the <a href="SnippetConverter.aspx">online converter</a>. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
A sample Windows Forms application demonstrating the usage of the service is available: |
|
<a href="DotNetClientApplication.aspx">Windows Forms Web Service Client</a> (source included) |
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p class="page_title">Technical Background</p> |
|
<p> |
|
The converter uses <a href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/">SharpDevelop</a>'s |
|
NRefactory to perform the conversion. For the conversion |
|
to work properly, you have to paste a full class or source code file because we |
|
don't do "magic" RegEx's or string replacement - our code converter uses a full |
|
blown parser, and that's why the source code must be valid.</p> |
|
<p> |
|
Note that the conversion is not perfect (ie references to external references can |
|
be guessed only), however, if you encounter a problem such as a wrongly converted |
|
statement, please let us know - after all, the reason why we provide this online |
|
converter is to more easily gather feedback. You can get in touch with us via the <a href="http://community.sharpdevelop.net/forums/19/ShowForum.aspx"> |
|
Bug Reporting Forum</a>. By providing us with a sample of what's not working |
|
as expected, we can improve the converter |
|
so you get better results the next time - as well as everyone else. |
