Customizations change from VB to C+

Kim,


We are on E10 here and I did all the conversions here from VB to C#. We had well over 30 customizations that required conversions as even VB did not translate over 100%. Feel free to email me outside the threa if you need any advice or tips.


Good Luck,

Aaron

We are on Epicor 9 and have some customizations in VB.  It it my understanding that when we go to Epicor 10 they need to be in C+.  Is there an easy way to convert these customizations to C+?  is there a tool or does it manually have to be done?

Thanks Kim

I assume you meant C#, and no, technically they don’t need to be. VB.net customizations will function just fine in 10, though you will lose the ability to run them in web versions. That being said I highly encourage anyone to convert vb to c# in E10. This is not fool proof but it can be very helpful in converting those older scripts to C#

It is actually C# and simply you don't have to convert them to C#. E10 still allows for VB, however, you are going to have to make some changes most likely as their VB base changed a little. So somethings that use to work don't anymore. As for if there is a tool to convert there isn't really. There are some VB to C# convert tools, but they are only good for statement commands really. I'd recommend hiring someone who can do the conversions for you.

yes sorry, I did mean C#.  Thanks for the info.  Are you all currently using Epicor 10?  Did you have some customizations in VB from Epicor 9?

Thanks kim

I am on E9 but I would think that unless you actually know how to code, you will need to hire someone to convert.  As mentioned, the conversion will work for the standard statements, but it is not going to help you with the tables and troubleshooting.

yes sorry, I did mean C#.  Thanks for the info.  Are you all currently using Epicor 10?  Did you have some customizations in VB from Epicor 9?

 

Thanks kim

It is actually C# and simply you don't have to convert them to C#. E10 still allows for VB, however, you are going to have to make some changes most likely as their VB base changed a little. So somethings that use to work don't anymore. As for if there is a tool to convert there isn't really. There are some VB to C# convert tools, but they are only good for statement commands really. I'd recommend hiring someone who can do the conversions for you.
