Hey guys, maybe you can help me.

I am trying to convert a piece of C# code, and I ran it through a converter, and had to make some changes.

I am now running into this error:

Operator '<<' is not defined for types 'Char' and 'Integer'


The code is:

Code:
a += CType(URL(k + 0) + (URL(k + 1) << 8) + (URL(k + 2) << 16) + (URL(k + 3) << 24), UInt32)
            b += CType(URL(k + 4) + (URL(k + 5) << 8) + (URL(k + 6) << 16) + (URL(k + 7) << 24), UInt32)
            c += CType(URL(k + 8) + (URL(k + 9) << 8) + (URL(k + 10) << 16) + (URL(k + 11) << 24), UInt32)
The error occurs on each of the (URL(...) << X)


Any help would be appreciated.
