Summary

This PR completes ticket ANKE-3 by migrating the VB.NET Sudoku Windows Forms application to C#. The migration creates a complete C# equivalent under windowsforms/Sudoku/CS/sudoku/ while preserving the original VB.NET version.

Key Changes

Project Structure & Configuration

  • Created new C# project structure mirroring the VB.NET organization
  • Converted sudoku.vbproj to sudoku.csproj with C#-specific configuration
  • Removed VB.NET specific properties (OptionInfer, OptionStrict, LangVersion)
  • Added EnableWindowsTargeting=true for cross-platform builds
  • Added Program.cs as application entry point with proper Windows Forms bootstrapping

Core Logic Migration (Game.vbGame.cs)

  • Converted VB.NET events to C# Action<int[][]> delegates
  • Migrated jagged arrays from VB.NET syntax to proper C# initialization
  • Converted Do...Loop to do...while loop in constraint satisfaction algorithm
  • Updated integer division operator \ to / for 3x3 square calculation
  • Preserved LINQ-based constraint satisfaction logic with Intersect() operations

UI Migration (Form1.vbForm1.cs)

  • Replaced VB.NET WithEvents/Handles pattern with explicit C# event subscription
  • Converted Sub methods to void methods with proper signatures
  • Updated Me. references to this.
  • Preserved DataGridView manipulation logic for Sudoku grid display

Designer Code Migration (Form1.Designer.vbForm1.Designer.cs)

  • Converted control declarations from Friend WithEvents to private fields
  • Updated resource loading syntax and designer attributes
  • Maintained exact UI layout with 9x9 DataGridView grid structure

Resources Copied

  • sudoku_icon.ico - Application icon
  • Form1.resx - Windows Forms resources and embedded icon data
  • Sudoku Image.jpg - Additional image resource

⚠️ Review Focus Areas

High Priority - Functionality Critical:

  1. Game.cs CreateNewGame() method - Complex constraint satisfaction algorithm with nested loops and LINQ operations
  2. Event subscription in Form1.cs constructor - Critical for UI-Game communication
  3. Array initialization patterns - Jagged arrays must be properly initialized

Medium Priority - Runtime Stability:
4. Resource loading and icon references - Ensure proper resource embedding
5. Project configuration - Verify build settings and dependencies
6. UI event handlers - Check button clicks and combo box changes work correctly

Testing Status

Build: Successfully compiles with dotnet build
⚠️ Runtime: Unable to test locally due to .NET 7.0 vs 8.0 environment mismatch
🔄 Functionality: Requires manual verification on target environment

Ticket: ANKE-3

- Convert sudoku.vbproj to sudoku.csproj with C# configuration
- Convert Game.vb to Game.cs with proper C# syntax:
  - Events using Action<int[][]> delegates
  - Jagged arrays with proper initialization
  - Do...Loop converted to do...while loops
  - Integer division operator \ changed to /
  - LINQ method calls updated to C# syntax
- Convert Form1.vb to Form1.cs:
  - Replace WithEvents/Handles pattern with explicit event subscription
  - Convert Sub methods to void methods
  - Replace Me. with this.
- Convert Form1.Designer.vb to Form1.Designer.cs:
  - Update control declarations from Friend WithEvents to private
  - Convert VB.NET designer syntax to C# equivalents
- Add Program.cs with Main method as application entry point
- Copy resource files (sudoku_icon.ico, Form1.resx, Sudoku Image.jpg)

The C# version maintains identical functionality and architecture as the original VB.NET version.
