How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from VB.NET to Fsharp in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your VB.NET code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Fsharp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from VB.NET to Fsharp using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
VB.NET
Fsharp
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between VB.NET and Fsharp
Characteristic | VB.NET | Fsharp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | VB.NET uses a syntax similar to the BASIC programming language, with keywords and statements that are easy to read and understand. | F# uses a functional programming syntax, which is concise and expressive, allowing for more concise and readable code. |
Paradigm | VB.NET is primarily an object-oriented programming language, but it also supports procedural and functional programming paradigms. | F# is a functional-first programming language, which means it emphasizes functional programming concepts and immutability. |
Typing | VB.NET is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | F# is also a statically typed language, but it also supports type inference, which allows for more concise code. |
Performance | VB.NET is a compiled language, which can result in good performance. However, it may not be as performant as languages like C++ or C#. | F# is also a compiled language and can achieve good performance. It leverages the power of the .NET runtime and can interoperate with other .NET languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | VB.NET has access to the extensive .NET Framework, which provides a wide range of libraries and frameworks for various purposes. | F# also has access to the .NET Framework and can use the same libraries and frameworks as other .NET languages. Additionally, F# has its own libraries and frameworks specifically designed for functional programming. |
Community and support | VB.NET has a large and active community of developers, with plenty of online resources, forums, and documentation available. | F# has a smaller but dedicated community of developers. It has good support from Microsoft and a growing number of resources and documentation available. |
Learning curve | VB.NET has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with BASIC or other similar languages. | F# has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to functional programming concepts. However, it can be rewarding to learn and can lead to more expressive and concise code. |
