Hi Everyone,
In my spare time over the last 3 weeks, I've been working on a C# to D Compiler based on Roslyn.
Please check it out and give comments. I would also like this to be a basis to provide both Libraries in D and allow building native C# applications with the help of D.

Its available on my github
https://github.com/afrogeek/SharpNative

This is the Current Feature List

Basic PInvoke
Arrays including initializers
Fields/ Properties/Methods with correct hiding semantics
Properties are better implemented
String
Int/Double/Bool
Classes and Polymorphism … we follow C# model
Some benchmarks - basic linpack, fannkuch, nbody
Modules/Namespaces
Enum - no enum.Parse support yet though
Iterators are as .Net use enumerators etc … switching arrays to use simple for loop though for performance improvement
Constructors/Overloads/Base Class calls
Static Variables/Members/Properties
Basic System.Math, more implementations required though
Extension Methods
Operator Overloading
Indexers
Anonymous Classes
Generics … All current test cases work
Boxed structs and interface casting for them
Inner Classes in the form of OuterClass_InnerClass
Static Constructors
Explicit Interfaces … current fix is not so pretty though … i.e. IEnumerator.MoveNext becomes IEnumerator.IEnumerator_MoveNext (this allows implementing methods with same name, differently)
Implicit and Explicit Cast Operators
String switch … dlang supports this natively :)
String.Format .. though implementation is very basic
C# multi dimensional arrays work correctly (even with multi dim syntax :) )… mostly … look at multi test from CrossNet
Delegates work including multicast (Native delegates through P/Invoke work too)
Events work as expected … though a bit slower than C#(mono)

This is pretty cool.

When the tool is good enough, then you can run the tool the Roslyn compiler and on itself. Then you'll have a C# compiler and a tool to translate from C# to D, written in D :)

BTW, you should add .DS_Store to .gitignore.

Thanks, Jacob and Stefan,
Done, does anyone have a good idea of how to write Async/Await using fibers or state machines in D ?
I have yield return working, and would like to have both these as lambdas passed to library functions.

Regards,
Ron.

Looks intriguing :)

Same as in .net, look at the generated IL, an async method should return a chain of tasks.

Well done! I also thought of making a C# to D compiler using Roslyn, so I'm glad to see fruits of your labour :)

If use the .Net Framework 4.0,it's will better than now,a lot of people will test it,but v4.5.3,maybe a little.
