We're talking about writing a .NOT app in C#, and then trying to magically transform that into a well-behaved Cocoa app in Objective-C. I have yet to see such a mechanical translation/ emulation/whatever work well.

I think that depends on what the C# was written to do.

I have a pile of C# code that includes a lot of model logic that I'd like to use rather than re-invent. It also includes lots of WinForms/.NET API stuff that I'm not interested in.

Then we're not talking about the same thing. I'm referring to automatically converting WinForms -> Cocoa. View classes in general are neither very portable nor easy to transform automatically.


So a mechanical converter to get it into an Objective-C starting point would be very helpful.

Now we're *definitely* not talking about the same thing. As I understood it, the OP wasn't looking for a starting point - he was looking for a completely automated solution that he could hand his Windows developers so they could magically produce a Cocoa app with no effort.
