B4J Question Migrating VB.NET\WPF to B4J

Hello...

I came across this software quite by accident the other day. And so far, with the tinkering I have done with it, I find myself very impressed.

My question is this...

With all the uproar from Microsoft .NET Developers against the new Windows 11 (as well as Windows 10) as a result of all the new invasions of privacy, many of us are starting to look at Linux as an alternative for our development. This is little easier for C# developers because Microsoft has dropped support for the VB.NET language in terms of evolving it as they are with C#.

As a VB.NET developer (though I m fluent in C#), I am quite happy with this as many of us are finding all of the C# "enhancements" nothing more than annoyances as well as an avenue towards increased complexity with C# as well as syntactical ambiguity.

In any event, I have a very complex VB.NET\WPF application, which is primarily a military simulation toolkit for those who are interested in developing such games.

I would like to know what experiences people here have had with moving VB.NET code to B4J, if any.

And if so, what the major hurdles were for such a migration.

I already understand that my interface will have to be redesigned and my database access will have to move from ADO.NET to a JDBC library. However, I am fine with that. It will give me something new to learn.

I am more curious about the pure VB.NET code...

Thank you...
