Renaming References of Implementing Members

This issue applies only for C# target language.

The problem appears when an implementing member from a class is referenced in or out of the class. Remember, the implementing member in Visual Basic 6 is formed <Interface>_<Member>, and the target upgrade must remove the <Interface> prefix in order to get a correct syntax. It causes references to these members to be renamed to this new name to get the same functionality.

Original VB6 code

AClass.cls
Implements AnInterface
Sub AnInterface_AMethod(ByVal anArg As String)
    ' Code
End Sub
Sub MyMethod()
    AnInterface_AMethod ""
End Sub

AModule.vb

Private Sub Foo()
    Dim c As New AClass
    c.AnInterface_AMethod ""
End Sub
