[RESOLVED] Integer cannot be converted to UShort

I have this piece of code in C#:

vb.net Code:

return ((UInt16)(((0xFF00 & input) >> 8) | ((0x00FF & input) << 8)));

Here is the VB code:

vb.net Code:

Return DirectCast(((&HFF00 And input) >> 8) Or ((&H00FF And input) << 8), UInt16)

But the VB code is throwing the following error:

Quote:

---

Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'UShort'.

---

Any ideas why I am getting it ? I was stumped because the C# code is not throwing that error!

Thanks in advance :wave:

Try this:

Code:

---

Return Convert.ToUInt16(((&HFF00 And input) >> 8) Or ((&HFF And input) << 8))

---

Use CType instead of DirectCast and all your problems will disappear!

Thanks :thumb:

Both solutions seems to be working :wave:
