Question

I am in the process of converting some c# code to that of VB.NET…I am running into error at the following

C#

if (bytes[i - 1] == ' ')
{
  returnValue.Append("=20");
}
else if (bytes[i - 1] == '\t')
{
  returnValue.Append("=09");
}

VB.NET

If bytes(i - 1) = " "C Then <==error Operator "=" is not defined for types 'Byte' and 'Char'

   returnValue.Append("=20")
ElseIf bytes(i - 1) = ControlChars.Tab Then <==error Operator "=" is not defined for types 'Byte' and 'Char'
   returnValue.Append("=09")
End If
