VB -> C#: Missing event wiring for overridden members

VB.Net input code

Private Sub btn2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btn2.Click
        lblMsg.Text = "Copying data From clipboard..."
        lblMsg.Refresh()
        Utils.ClipboardToDGV(uGrid.dgvData, True)
        lblMsg.Text = CStr(uGrid.dgvData.Rows.Count) & " rows are ready to upload."
        lblMsg.Refresh()

        btn5.Visible = True
    End Sub

Erroneous output

No event wiring. Function is converted correctly but event handler function is not wired to btn2.Click event

Expected output

Event handler function should be wired to btn2.Click event

Problem occurs on forms that inherit base form which has the definition of btn2 In the base form, vb.net code had a public Button btn2, but in the c# version it has a private Button _btn2 and a getter/setter called btn2

The designer code for child forms are referencing in some cases the private class member, e.g. _btn2, which causes an error since _btn2 is private, and in other cases the public member, e.g. btn3. The modifier issue is minor, the main problem is the wiring of events.

Yes that’s the jist of it. The button defined in the base class no longer has its click event wired to the handler defined in the inheriting class. The “expected CSharp output” from your comment has the correct event wiring.

I’ve made some decent progress on the small test case now. I’ll try it on some real apps tomorrow hopefully and refine it. If you’re willing to try out a prerelease build from the build system (or build it locally and try it), let me know and I can give some hints on doing so if it’s not obvious (in particular something a bit odd has happened with the local debug options attaching a debugger when building from source, so it’s best to just build it then install the output and restart)
