VB 2003 defining word, unions and typedef

[cmdolcet69]

Is there any way in VB 2003 to define the following code:

 
/* Global Type Definitions */
typedef    unsigned char     byte;          // 'byte' is an 8-bit unsigned value
typedef    unsigned int        word;         // 'word' is a 16-bit unsigned value
 
 
/* Global Structure Definitions */
struct byte_low_hi {
 byte low_byte;
 byte high_byte;
};
 
/* Global Union Definitions */
union word_byte {
 word                            word16;
 struct    byte_low_hi     byte8;
};
