There are a number of free online C# to VB.NET and VB.NET to C# converters available:

Answer 2

You could also, use reflector to convert your .net assembly into any of the below languages.

• IL
• C#
• VB.NET
• Delphi
• MC++

Answer 3

Part of your problem is that vb8 does not yet support some of the features your C# code is using (automatic properties and collection initializers, for example), so the translations is not 1:1. Some of these features were added in VB9. That said, it's not that hard:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim tests As New List(Of CaclulatedData)(2)

    tests.Add(New CalculatedData())
    tests(0).Bonds = "First Bond"
    tests(0).TransactionList.Add(New TransactionData())
    tests(0).TransactionList(0).Debit = "DebitData"

    tests.Add(New CalculatedData())
    tests(1).Bonds = "Second Bond"
    tests(1).TransactionList.Add(New TransactionData())
    tests(1).TransactionList(0).Debit = "123123"
    tests(1).TransactionList.Add(New TransactionData())
    tests(1).TransactionList(1).Debit = "12312"
    tests(1).TransactionList(1).Credit = "3453"

    gridControl1.DataSource = tests
End Sub

Public Class JEString
    Private _Bonds As String
    Public Property Bonds() As String
       Get
          Return _Bonds
       End Get
       Set(ByVal value As String)
           _Bonds = value
       End Set
    End Property
End Class

Public Class CaclulatedData 
    Inherits JEString

    Private _TransactionList As New List(Of TransactionData)()
    Public ReadOnly Property TransactionList() As List(Of TransactionData)
        Get
            Return _TransactionList
        End Get
    End Property
End Class


Public Class TransactionData
    Private _Debit As String
    Private _Credit As String

    Public Property Debit() As String
       Get
          Return _ Debit
       End Get
       Set(ByVal value As String)
           _ Debit = value
       End Set
    End Property

    Public Property Credit() As String
       Get
          Return _ Credit
       End Get
       Set(ByVal value As String)
           _Credit = value
       End Set
    End Property
End Class
