[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...:blush:

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.

Wow thanks!

Something like

Code:

---

Dim fill As FillPrimitive = DirectCast(Me.examplesCrs.CrsElement.Children(0), FillPrimitive)

---
