Hi
Other than manualy goto though line by line of c/c++ source code to rewrite
for the c# language is there an automated way of doing it? or is there a
good c/c++ compiler that can compile GNU source code?

thanks in advance

No, such a converter can't exist,
or it has to use AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Even then, the results would be only modest
and not very .NET - like.

Do a clean rewrite, maybe with help from:
