What's PB2CS ?

PB2CS is an assistant tool for converting PowerBuilder to C#. It converts the PBL file to a C# project(.csproj), and generates a report detailing what was done. After your PBL is converted, PB2CS inserts comments into your C# code alerting you to statement what will need to be changed manually.

PB2CS does not make the conversion process completely automatic, because many objects do not have the corresponding components in .NET.
