Rules for Translating Code from C# to C++: Object Creation and Method Calls

Sometimes the behavior of code written in C# and C++ can differ. Let's take a closer look at how CodePorting.Translator Cs2Cpp handles such differences and ensures the correctness of the code translation. We will also learn how the conversion of unit tests is carried out.

C# to C++ Translator: Operations on the Source Code

At first glance, it may seem that the translator has only one way of using it: by feeding it C# code, we expect to get equivalent C++ code as output. Indeed, this way is the most common, but far from the only one. This article describes other modes provided by the code translation framework and related utilities.

From C# to C++: How We Have Automated Project Conversion – Part 2

The design and development of C# to C++ code translator was performed solely by CodePorting. It required many investigations, applying multiple approaches, and tests, differing by memory model and other aspects. In the end, two solutions were chosen. One of them is currently being used for C++ releases of Aspose products.

From C# to C++: How We Have Automated Project Conversion – Part 1

Customers value Aspose products, that allow manipulating protocols and files of popular formats. Most of them were initially developed for .NET. At the same time, business applications for file formats, run in different environments. This article will describe how we have succeeded in setting up the releases of Aspose products for C++, by building a framework for code translation from C#. Keeping the functionality of .NET versions for these products was technically challenging.
