In VB6 I have such code: IsLast = Abs(CursorPos = Len(numText.Text)) What evaluates false

  • 0

In VB6 I have such code:

IsLast = Abs(CursorPos = Len(numText.Text))

What evaluates false to 0 and true to 1.

This line of code produces error in VB.NET.

How to write this properly?

EDIT:
The error is:

Error   15  Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Abs' can be called without a narrowing conversion:
'Public Shared Function Abs(value As Decimal) As Decimal': Argument matching parameter 'value' narrows from 'Boolean' to 'Decimal'.

    IsLast = If( CursorPos = Len(numText.Text), 1, 0 )

    Are you trying to migrate a larger chunk of VB6 to VB.Net?
