Short answer: Impossible.
Long answer: Highly improbable.
Can you post the code? If it's not massive I'm sure I/someone else can help you convert it. Automatically converting between languages isn't easy, especially from say C++ to C# which are totally different (bar the roughly similar syntax).

there is no such tool
learn C++ and C# and use your brain to do the conversion OP

Or find code that does what you want and is written in C# 
Thanks for the responses. The C++ is some quite complicated Neural Network code.
I knew nothing would help with libraries, but hopefully something to help with converting syntax.
One option is to keep the C++ code original, then use P/invoke to call as a function.
Pho, or anyone else who wants to look at the C++ code then I would be grateful
. I have looked at C++ in the past but i'm rusty, i'm really a .Net / c# person.

Ha! There's a reason I ran a mile from the neural networks/intelligent computing module I could have taken this year, so I'm afraid I can't help!

Yeah, that's not going to take 5 minutes to convert 
. How come you need it converted to C#?
Like you say, you'd probably be better off P/invokeing it or just building it as a C++ exe then having your C# app execute that exe in the background to do what it needs.
We had some guys from Imperial in at work talk to us about Cuda Convnet the other week which is apparently very fast as it uses CUDA, might be another idea for you.

TBH, just program in C++ if you are doing things like machine learning. C# will just be slow and painful.

what ARE you on about?
I have heard about such a tool in the past. I don't actually recall the name but I remember it was made by a Russian company. Anyway, it didn't work perfectly and did some strange things when converting to C#. It was paid and quite expensive also, so it may not suit you.
