    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2.0] Trouble porting C# code to VB

    I was recently tasked the difficult job of porting some C# code to VB. I have no experience in writing C# code however I am comfortable with .NET and VB. So far I have successfully ported most of the code, however the following line puzzles me:

    Code:
    FillPrimitive fill = (FillPrimitive)this.examplesCrs.CrsElement.Children[0];
    How would I port this to VB? The FillPrimitive part in parentheses puzzles me...

    That is an explicit cast, which is done in VB with DirectCast.

    By the way, they are parentheses, not brackets. The index 0 at the end of the line is in brackets.

    Something like
    Code:
    Dim fill As FillPrimitive = DirectCast(Me.examplesCrs.CrsElement.Children(0), FillPrimitive)
