A little C# -> VB.Net conversion help?

I have some C# code that is supposed to wrap the defrag APIs and I am trying
to convert it to VB.Net (2003). But, I keep having problems.

The C# code is relatively short, so I'll post it here.....

I'd be very grateful for any help with this conversion that you could offer.

Thanks!

Thanks for the links.

I tried all of the free converters, and all of the failed.

There were 2 here I had not seen before. The best of the free converters is
at http://authors.aspalliance.com/aldot...translate.aspx .

Although it also failed to convert the code, it is more verbose in the
reasons why.

The C# code is relatively short, so I'll post it here.....
I wouldn't call that 'short' ;)

It would be great if you could point out the problem area's. Converting
C# to VB.NET is easy, and you should use one of the on-line conversion
sites for that. It can be that these sites/tools choke on small
constructs, (as you use win32 code, it might be the case) so you then
should convert these small constructs by hand. If that gives problems,
post THOSE constructs so people here can help you with these.

Another tip: don't bother converting, as it will not gain you anything
(it will only waste your time). Why don't you put this code into a
library and use that one in VB.NET?
