VB Delegate function conversion error

Awesome product guys, a really great job thanks heaps!

I have had a few simple errors but I thought you might be interested in this one.
This did not convert
Public Delegate Function Operation(Of T)() As T
It should have come across to C# as
public delegate T Operation();

The

Erroneous output

public delegate Operation.T Operation();

version used
C# -> VB
[8.4.0] - 2021-09-05

Thanks for the report, glad it's helpful!
The error looks likely to be an issue with the "Expand" pre-step in roslyn. Should be an easy workaround hopefully

Great stuff thanks mate, I would have thought nobody is doing any VB.NET these days, you must do this for fun? I just love C# and it seems that the performance is so close to C++? Actually when I looked into that a while ago Microsoft would not let you publish any results on that.

The fix should hopefully be released quite soon

Fortunately, not that many people are using VB.NET for serious projects nowadays, but according to the last stackoverflow survey where I saw it included, the various forms of visual basic occupy three of the top five most dreaded languages from this article:

When I ended up needing to pick up someone's legacy VB.NET code, it seemed crazy to me that there wasn't a top quality converter available I could find (even paid for ones seemed hopeless when I tried them). So it's mainly to help the world escape from VB, but that's not to say it's never fun too!
