Re: Good Reasons to port asp.NET VB.NET app to C#

If you're more comfortable in C# than VB.NET, that's a good justification in itself.

As for the time to port it, you can't get a headstart by using a tool like Reflector to decompile the existing assemblies and show the source in C#.

Hi,

I developed ASP.NET application in VB.NET about a year ago; it has been in
production since. Now they want to add new features change some of the
existing ones, it's not a major rework, but probably a week of work or so.
My dilemma is that I have switched to C# since than and want to continue
coding in C#. Now would be a good time to port this app to C# with new
features which will add probably twice as much time to development of this
new release.
What reasons I can give to the management to convince them to give me extra
time to rewrite this application to C#. From what I understand there's not
that much difference between VB.NET and C# it compiles to the same code. But
I find C# more concise and more "suitable" for .NET; just more elegant
language. If I am going to be supporting this app I want to support in C#.
