Codeporting C#2java Application has many powerful customization
and administration options for developers and a Class Library
Manager is also available to convert .Net types to respective
java types.  CodePorting provides user friendly interface to its
users so that they can customize library map according to their
project needs.

Users can assign maps for following types of class members:

•	Extension Method
•	Instance Member
•	Indexer
•	Instance Method
•	Static Member
•	Property

Let me explain you how mapping is going to work in CodePorting
App.

The most important input to C#2Java converting engine is Library
Map.  There are two possibilities while converting C# .Net
library methods to java.

First possibility is that a method exists in java library which
provides same functionality as provided in .Net library method.
If this is the case then C#2Java engine only need to know about
that and that is where library mapping play its part. Lets take
an example of System.Console.out method.

Following are it’s details in .NET


.NET Class: System.Console
.NET Method (Static): WriteLine(System.String)

In Java .Net method is mapped as following

Java Class: System.out
Java Method (Static): printf(string)

The above C#2Java mapping helps in converting .Net library to
java properly.

Second possibility is that a method does not exists in java
library that provides same functionality as provides by .Net
library method.  If this is the case then there is no counter
part of .Net method in java.
if this the case codeporting engine first writes a method which
provides the same functionality as .net method does.

Lets take an example of
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32(int) method.

Following are it’s details in .NET

.NET Library: System.Drawing
.NET Class: System.Drawing.ColorTranslator
.NET Method (Static): FromWin32(int)

To map the above method Codeporting first writes a method in java
with same input and output.  Once done, Codeporting add this
method in mapping so that engine knows how to translate this
method in java.

Java Package:
com.codeporting.csharp2java.System.Drawing.ColorTranslator
Java Class: ColorTranslator
Java Method (Static): fromWin32

Using the above information from mapping, the engine will
translate it by importing the package
com.codeporting.csharp2java.System.Drawing.ColorTranslator. After
conversion, the above package where java method resides will be
required to compile the generated code.

CodePorting team is continuously adding more and more methods in
C#2Java Library to improve it. CodePorting team is proud to
announce that we have upgraded C#2Java library and mapping. Lot
of methods were added in, like System.Data, System.Drawing and
many more.
