Installed a VS 2019 extension to convert vb to c#. But I don't know how to add it to my project. My search has shown nothing. Can you tell me where to look?

Lots of searches and checking all the ribbon items.

The extension extends the VS IDE, not your application. It will however attempt to convert code in your project to the "other" language. From my experience, it is a waste of time and fails more than it succeeds. You can see how it works here: Code Converter (VB - C#) - Visual Studio Marketplace[^]

Thank you. I have it installed. But I don't know how to use it.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The screenshots in the link provided show you how.

When I look at the screenshots, I see:
1. Highlight the code, right-click on the selection, then choose the conversion option.
2. Right-click on the file to be converted in the solution explorer and choose the conversion option.
