Conversion of code from Java to C# using Sharpen

Question

Do code conversion tools like Sharpen help in converting code from Java to C#? Does the converted code run on all Windows machines without trouble or changes have to be made? How efficient is this tool, does it completely remove the laborious line by line conversion method?

Answer 1

Sharpen generates a pretty good code, although there are some incompatibilities and weirdnesses due to the different semantics of Java and C#, I would say Sharpen converts about 95% or more of the code correctly.
