Converting VB.Net to Mercury in Command Line

Elements Mercury
1

Hey

Based on the forum post here: https://talk.remobjects.com/t/water-create-project-from-command-line/24067

and the video: " Importing your existing Visual Basic.NET projects to use them in Mercury."

I wanted to ask, if you can enable this feature within the “RemObjects.Elements.ProjectSystem.dll” as well, so it would be possible to transform an VB.Net project to Mercury at runtime.

THX a lot in advance

It’s already available via RemObjects.EBuild.Elements.dll:

var p := new RemObjects.EBuild.Elements.EBuildElementsProject withFile("path/to.vbproj" Format(".vbproj");
p.SaveToFile("path/to.elements"));

(the Format parameter ia actually ignored, it goes by the file extension. It remains to work around a limitation with contractor overloading in .NET).

That said, you can also convert via ebuild.exe

ebuild --convert /path/to.vbproj /path/to.elements

Which does the same, but is more future proof in case the above API, which is not officially public, should ever change.
