It's pretty easy:

IConnection connection = new RIMRadioObj();
IReadIMEI imei = new RIMRadioObj();

I don't know which online converter you are using, this one[^] worked it out...

i used this one and it gives me this error
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'RIMRADIOCOMLib.RIMRadioObj' to 'RIMRADIOCOMLib.IConnection'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) C:\Users\Seif\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\Form1.cs 22 38 WindowsFormsApplication1

Please Help
Thanks in advance

When it says "An explicit conversion exists" it means that it wants you to be aware that you may not have meant what to entered, but if you did, you can explicitly say so by casting the value before assignment:
IConnection connection = (IConnection) new RIMRadioObj();

Please can you help with this error
Error 1 Cannot assign to 'GetStatus' because it is a 'method group' C:\Users\Seif\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\Form1.cs 27 6 WindowsFormsApplication1

Without your code? No - I'd have to guess! :laugh:

here is the code
if (connection.GetStatus = ConnectionStatus.CONN_STATUS_CONNECTED)
{
imei.Execute(str);
textBox1.Text = str;
}
else
{
textBox1.Text = "Phone not connected";
}
}
and here is another error if you can help me with it
i am very sorry but this is the fisrt time to write C# applications
The best overloaded method match for 'RIMRADIOCOMLib.IReadIMEI.Execute(out string)' has some invalid arguments
Thanks in Advance

I assume GetStatus is a method, rather than a property? If so, then you need "()" after the name - otherwise the compiler assumes you are trying to assign to a method address and complains.
On your new error, without the code... :laugh:
But the error message is pretty clear about what the problem is!
I think you need to know quite a bit more about C# before you go much further - it seems that you are trying to move from VB (which I assume you know) to C# (which it is clear you don't). You do need to know at least the basics, if you are going to stand any chance of getting your app working when you have translated it: VB is so imprecise that a mechanical translation cannot necessarily be accurate - it needs the context of the code to work, or to use the IL as the source instead. The later is not really recommended, as you will loose any comments, most of the names, etc..
Learning the language first is definitely your best option.
