Hello
I have a very old app that uses a little function that calculates a value and after that i get the hash code of that value, that it's used as a password to unlock some functionalities to the user. Now the manager has a 64 bits computer and the function returns a different value.

What i need it's how to convert this function from C# to Vb, i know that I can use the converts, but they don't work, pointers...

c# Code:
  1. public static unsafe int GetHashCode32(string s)

  2.     {

  3.         fixed (char* str = s.ToCharArray())

  4.         {

  5.             char* chPtr = str;

  6.             int num = 0x15051505;

  7.             int num2 = num;

  8.             int* numPtr = (int*)chPtr;

  9.             for (int i = s.Length; i > 0; i -= 4)

  10.             {

  11.                 num = (((num << 5) + num) + (num >> 0x1b)) ^ numPtr[0];

  12.                 if (i <= 2)

  13.                 {

  14.                     break;

  15.                 }

  16.                 num2 = (((num2 << 5) + num2) + (num2 >> 0x1b)) ^ numPtr[1];

  17.                 numPtr += 2;

  18.             }

  19.             return (num + (num2 * 0x5d588b65));

  20.         }

  21.     }

Can I convert this function?
