another vb6 to vb.net question

Hi

Simply because the challenge is there I am trying to convert my vb6 code to
vb.net. In the most part I have found ways but here is one I am stuck on, so
any thoughts would be welcome.

Public Function NewJobSerial() As Long
NewJobSerial = CType((Format$(Int(Rnd() * 424) - 212)) + Format$((Timer *
100), "0000000"), Long)
NewJobSerial = NewJobSerial Xor CType(2147483647 * Rnd(), Integer)
End Function

Thanks

How about this?

Public Function NewJobSerial() As Long
NewJobSerial = CType((Format$(Int(Rnd() * 424) - 212)) + _
Format$((Now.Millisecond * 100), "0000000"), Long)
Return NewJobSerial Xor CType(2147483647 * Rnd(), Integer)
End Function
