Yes, that’d be an interesting approach. Kind of a conversion only assembly.

Ah yes, I see, does the converter even provide a convert project option or are you trying to do a file at a time? If there’s no convert project option, nearby files aren’t taken into consideration. If that’s the case, getting the files all into some kind of vbproj is the trick. They don’t need to run in that form, but compiling (or the closer the better) allows the converter to grab the compilation model from the project. So just creating a library style vbproj with the appropriate references may be the thing to do

Sure, this is a sample file. It’s from an old school ASP.NET Website project. createMap.aspx.zip
