COBOL to .NET converter (C# / VB.NET)
Are there any COBOL to .NET converter programs, that convert to C# or VB.NET. The COBOL version, that I have is IBM CICS, so if anyone knows or has done such a conversion or any other methods. If there are any shareware or open source projects, that also would be helpful.

There is no cobol to .net converter.
but there is a cobol for .net <Micro Focus COBOL>
and native/old cobol codes are no longer useful for .net or maybe some are used but differently.

was expecting to see actual tool converters. There are cobol to java converters, similar ones.
Try the COBOL to C# / Java translator from www.softwaremining.com . The system supports translation of COBOL, CICS, EXEC SQL statements as well as some IMS to C#/.NET (and Java). The VSAM (KSDS) Files as well as the structures involved in CICS READ/WRITE/REWRITE are converted to Object Relational classes accessing SQL Databases. Ie data is migrated to SQL. SoftwareMining will also provide the tools for this data migration,
I don't know of any automated tool that can figure out the concepts behind the design of your COBOL system so that those concepts can be translated into objects and you can have a properly designed object-oriented system. The best tool for that is the human brain which needs to analyze the reasons behind the COBOL code, come up with a decent OO design and than convert the COBOL into the newly designed C# or VB.NET system.
