I can't even vaguely concieve of how such a think could work, even at a trivial, hypothetical level. The code converter would ahve to actualy understand at a general level what the program does and how it does it, then come up with an orriginal way to solve the same problem using a different methodology.
As to the simple case, even here, the converter would have to make inteligent decisions. Which methods and properties should it move to the base class, and which should it keep local? What criteria might it use for making such a choice? How could you be sure that the decisions it made would be useful or appropriate?
