I have just installed Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.
I was planning to convert an old VB.Net project to C#. I started by updating it to .NET Framework 4.8 and made sure it compiled and worked.
When I tried to convert it to C# the option wasn't available and I had to download a third party tool and install it in VS, I can't find it now I have no idea where to look.
Has the built in converter been removed?
This tool frankly hasn't made a very good job of it, are there any recommendations please?
There could also be the option that perhaps such a conversion is not really necessary.

MS never supplied the tool. There is an open source vs extension

I tried to use the SharpTeam converter. I downloaded the extension from the Visual Studio marketplace, loaded a very very simple vb shared project file and attempted to convert. Every attempt I made was met with a Catrostrophic Failure error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))).
I would love to continue using this but I have no idea what the problem is.
In the meantime I will keep using Instant C#
