I am trying to convert Bob Jenkins perfect hash function from C# to VB.Net and I am stuck at following.

a += (UInt32)(url[k + 0] + (url[k + 1] << 8) + (url[k + 2] << 16) + (url[k + 3] << 24))

How can I write above statement in VB.Net?

Please note the following:

a is UInt32
url is String
k is Integer

I tried the following but it doesn’t work.

a += url(k + 0) + (url(k + 1) << 8) + (url(k + 2) << 16) + (url(k + 3) << 24)

To avoid manually doing type casting, I am using “Option Strict Off”
