Converting C# to VB .NET

[Howard Kaikow]

I'm converting some C# to VB .NET.

In an example that uses Outlook, I find the following C# statement:

Outlook.Appoint mentItem appointment =
(Outlook.Appoin tmentItem)outlo ok.CreateItem(
Outlook.OlItemT ype.olAppointme ntItem);

I do not understand how to convert the (Outlook.Appoin tmentIem) portion of
the statement.

Use CType

appointment =
CType(outlook.C reateItem(Outlo ok.OlItemType.o lAppointmentIte m),
Outlook.Appoint mentItem)

Thanx.

I thought that it had to be something like that.

'(Outlook.Appoi ntmentItem)' is a type cast.

\\\
Dim Appointment As Outlook.Appoint mentItem = _
DirectCast( _
outlook.CreateI tem(Outlook.OlI temType.olAppoi ntmentItem), _
Outlook.Appoint mentItem _
)

Thanks to those who responded.

I have two books that compare VB .NET and C#.

The one from O'Reilly loses much of its value as there is no index!

The one from APress has an inadequate index. For example, neither Ctype nor
DirectCast is listed in the index, however, if one knows that a conversion
function is required, there is an index item for conversion functions. So if
one already knows the language from which one is translating, the book could
be useful.

I guess one has to fully read such books, but as a reference, they are
inadequate.
