In my VS2003 under the Tools Menu Item is an item :
"C# to VB Converter"

I don't know where it came from and want to move it to VB2005.

I've searched Program Files for file with # in its name an none of them
seems to be the source of that item.

Is it possible to retrieve the file that added that menu item and use it to
add an item to VB2005?


I'll try anything reasonable


Thank

It can be:

- An external tool: (Tools, External Tools menu). In this case you can add
it to the VS 2005 IDE.
- A button created from an add-in (Tools, Add-In Manager menu). In this case
you need the VS 2005 version.
- A button created from a Visual Studio Package. In this case you need also
the VS 2005 version.

Which is your case?

I did find it in my VS2003 files Setup.Ini. does that tell you anything?
I also have a msi and an Setup.exe which I can post if it is a good idea.
Size 842HB - maybe zipping would help. Should I post it?


Thanks

No, I was not aware of a setup.ini

No, do not post it, nobody is going to execute it. Likely that is the
provider of the "C# to VB Converter", you can contact them requesting a
version for VS 2005

Just execute the Tools, External Tools menu and click the Add button to add
a new external program to the Tools menu.
