[RESOLVED] need help in converting these codes to vb.net

[adshocker]

hi,

can anyone help me convert this code to vb.net?

        
private string GenerateSalt() {
 byte[] buf = new byte[SALT_SIZE_IN_BYTES];
 (new RNGCryptoServiceProvider()).GetBytes(buf);
 return Convert.ToBase64String(buf);
}

i tried using conversion tools but gives me an error on the syntax.

Private Function GenerateSalt() As String
    Dim buf As Byte() = New Byte(SALT_SIZE_IN_BYTES - 1) {}
    (New RNGCryptoServiceProvider()).GetBytes(buf)
    Return Convert.ToBase64String(buf)
End Function

thanks.

Private Function GenerateSalt() As String
    Dim buf As Byte() = New Byte(SALT_SIZE_IN_BYTES - 1){}
     CType(New RNGCryptoServiceProvider(), RNGCryptoServiceProvider).GetBytes(buf)
     Return Convert.ToBase64String(buf)
End Function

You aren't allowed to start a line of code with 'New'. This should work:

Call (New RNGCryptoServiceProvider()).GetBytes(buf)
