| Oct 28, 2013 at 16:18 | comment | added | Ramhound | While I agree with this answer to a certain point, there is something important to point out, most C# to VB.NET ( or vice versa ) converters simply convert the syntax of the code supplied. I would argue they are also preprocessors since the code that is generated still has to be compiled by the CSS ( or VB.NET equivalent compiler. | |
