There might be something that claims it can do it, but I would not trust it. This is a significant port and it takes a programmer to make sure it happens correctly.

Mmmmmmmmm, Agreed But u know how hard would it be to re-write the code and keep all the logic same :( – Madiha Khalid Mar 07 '11 at 20:38
@Madiha: Are you expecting the C# code to be maintainable? – mellamokb Mar 07 '11 at 20:38
Well, what i need is just conversion. I am not even thinking about accurate or exact running code. – Madiha Khalid Mar 07 '11 at 20:41
@Madiha - yes, we do. That's why it can't be done automatically. Suck it up and hire a programmer. – Mike Baranczak Mar 07 '11 at 20:43
AAAAHhhh Means i can't get it done automatically :-s – Madiha Khalid Mar 07 '11 at 20:45

I've used JNBridge in the past on some small to medium projects with success. This allows you to call a Java library from .NET and vice versa. If you are dealing with relatively simple types in your interfaces, it might be a good way to go.

Won't run. You need to compile the Java class first ;) – Mar 07 '11 at 20:37
Hey, it sounds working can u explain a bit more ? ? ? – Madiha Khalid Mar 07 '11 at 20:46
@Madiha: This answer was intended to be a joke. Although, it would be nice to know WHY you need the conversion? If you seriously just need to run the code from an ASP.Net front-end, then I suppose you could actually do this... – mellamokb Mar 07 '11 at 20:48
Actually i want to migrate my application from java to .net, but currently i m trying with some small code file so that i could get an idea how fine the conversion could be . . . – Madiha Khalid Mar 07 '11 at 20:53

If you just want it to RUN but not necessarily be converted to C# source code, you might find http://www.ikvm.net/ an interesting alternative.

It provides the facilities to run Java code on the .NET-runtime.
