getting what i think is binary and translating it

Well, as you can probably tell by the subj...i am very new to vb and i want to learn some stuff. Basically what I have is some c++ code that defines all of these variables with lengths like:

#define Var1 0x00000020
#define Var2 0x00000040
#define Var3 0x40000000

IS THIS ASCII??

I want to do this all thorugh VB and I'm guessing I will need to convert these items to a hex??? I really don't know enough about it to even know if I am making scense. But anyway, I'm guessing i want to define this stuff in vb like:

Var1 &H803494843

or something like that anyway......SO DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE A DIRECTION TO POINT ME IN??? I'M SURE I CAN PICK UP ON IT IF I JUST HAD SOME KIND OF DOCUMENTATION OR SAMPLE TO WORK FROM. Thanks in advance
