Translate vbscript to C# using ANTLR

Question

I need to write a translator for vbscript to c#. What would be the basic steps invloved to translate using ANTLR? I am not very clear about whether to use grammar (lexer/parser? file or stringtemplate or AST or all. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Is this really possible?

I'm "translating" (read: rewriting) a MS Access/VBA application since two years to C# and found out that even the online available converters (like this one which is more VB.NET, but anyway) fails at most basic conversions.

So my assumption until now is that there are way too much kind of constructs that are simply not translatable from VBScript to C#.

See What kinds of patterns could I enforce on the code to make it easier to translate to another programming language?
