Convert to C# does not appear on context menu

[BillClarkEarthPoint]

Steps to reproduce

1. Right click any vb file in Solution Explorer
2. "Convert to C#" does not appear on the context menu. The last item on the menu is "Rename"
3. • OR -
4. Drag the mouse to select any code within a vb file.
5. Right click on the selected code.
6. "Convert to C#" does not appear on the context menu. The last item on the menu is "Outlining"
7. • NOTE -
8. Visual Studio was closed for installation.
9. Computer has since been rebooted, but the problem remains.

Error message shown

• Follow the steps on the wiki - where do things go wrong?
• Copy and paste any error messages / relevant text and/or screenshot the incorrect behaviour.

None. "Convert to C#" is not listed on context menus, so process is never started.

If there's no error message, try the Visual Studio Activity log:

Run Visual Studio with the /Log command line switch to write ActivityLog.xml to disk during your session.
After closing Visual Studio, find the activity log in the subfolder for Visual Studio data:
%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio<version>\ActivityLog.xml.

Not applicable.

The main thing that jumps to mind is that you might be using a "website" project, which doesn't have a vbproj file and hence can't trigger the extension.
If that's the case, just create a vbproj that contains all the relevant files (that compiles) and use that during the conversion

Hello Graham, Yes, this is a website project. I created a vbproj file using another project file as a template. I listed all of the website vb files, restarted Visual Studio, but there is still no “convert” on the context menus. To illustrate, here is a copy of the vbproj file with just one vb file listed. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project ToolsVersion="12.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="App_Code\Test.vb" /> </ItemGroup> </Project> Best regards, Bill Clark www.earthpoint.us<http://www.earthpoint.us/> (208) 860-6311 From: Graham ***@***.***> Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2024 11:19 To: icsharpcode/CodeConverter ***@***.***> Cc: Bill Clark ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [icsharpcode/CodeConverter] Convert to C# does not appear on context menu (Issue #1143) The main thing that jumps to mind is that you might be using a "website" project, which doesn't have a vbproj file and hence can't trigger the extension.
