converting C# to VB problem

[ahobart]

Hello, I have this code in C# and it works perfect:

protected string GetUniqueName(string filename) {
string temp = filename;

for (int x=1; System.IO.File.Exists(temp); x++){
temp = filename.Substring(0, filename.LastIndexOf(".")) + x + filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf("."));
}
return new System.IO.FileInfo(temp).Name;
}

Then I converted it to VB:

Protected Function GetUniqueName(ByVal filename As String) As String
Dim temp As String = filename
Dim x As Integer = 1
While System.IO.File.Exists(temp)
temp = filename.Substring(0, filename.LastIndexOf(".")) + x + filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf("."))
System.Math.Min(System.Threading.Interlocked.Incre ment(x), x - 1)
End While
Return (New System.IO.FileInfo(temp)).Name
End Function

Now I am getting an error:

Input string was not in a correct format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
