    1. COC# to VB.Net is almost always a trivial conversion. C# to Lisp or PHP or Perl however is much more tricky. Along with some syntax being completely incompatible, library functions must be mapped and possibly the static typing of C# has to somehow be converted over to a dynamic typing system... C# to VB should not count as an actual "translation"

    2. COConversion tools with a deep understanding of the source and target languages won't produce things like "if true..."; they will recognize *generated* constructs that have simpler implementations (in this case, the empty implementation). To do this right, the translator cannot generate plain old text, because applying optimizations to generated code requires that it then be re-parsed and re-analyzed. I've discussed DMS in another answer here; it doesn't generate text directly, but rather ASTs for the target language, and then it can apply the rest of its compiler-like machinery to the result.

    3. CO@Earlz: converting from a langauge with static typing to one with dynamic typing is *much* easier than going the other way. To convert to *dynamic* typing, you basically forget the type information. Forgetting is a skill all of us have. To convert to *static* typing, your conversion tool must infer (compiler-style static analysis!) the static type used for each variable at each point in the code, split the variable lifetimes into one for each used type, replicate the code and specialize where a variable may have multiple types, etc. Way harder.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
