VB.NET & Java encryption compatibility problem

Thread to be deleted!

Your problem might be solved simply by placing Option Strict On at the top of your code file. Why do I say this? Because of your bit masking here:

Code:

---

(Chunks(1) & &HFF)

---

This is not doing what you think it is doing. The ampersand in VB.NET is a concatenation operator most often used for the String type, the compiler is actually converting implicitly those values to strings so that it can concat them. The equalivent of the C-style ampersand for bitmasking in VB.NET is the keyword And

Code:

---

(Chunks(1) And &HFF)

So you should fix that and see what you get.

You should be setting Option Strict On to the default of all your projects and you can do this by navigating to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions

Thanks for the reply, I've now changed that and turned option explicit on, I still get an incorrect outcome

Oh and incase it's needed, after changing the bit masking like ForumAccount said, This is the new outcome from VB.NET
