Question

I have a line of code written in C# that I need to convert to Vb.Net.

In C#

I have this block…

// Calculate number of 64K blocks
  uint          rowsPerBlock = _MAXBLOCK/widthLength;
  uint          blockSize = rowsPerBlock*widthLength;
  uint          blockCount;
  ushort        length;
  uint          remainder=dcSize;

Later the length variable is assigned a value and used for other calculations

length = (ushort)((remainder < blockSize) ? remainder : blockSize);

    if (length == remainder)
    {
      comp.WriteByte(0x01);
    }
    else
    {
      comp.WriteByte(0x00);
    }

    comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(length), 0, 2);

    // Write one's compliment of LEN

All of the above I have converted, except the following line.

comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes((ushort)~length), 0, 2);

What would be the correct conversion for this line?

Thanks

This would use Not in VB.Net to perform a bitwise negation:

comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(CUShort(Not length)), 0, 2)
