Currently VB.NET does no support unsigned values. The ~ operator is
Not. Not is a bitwise operator in VB.NET.

Heh...so much for the "Common" language runtime. And programmer's choice.
lol. Oh well. I suppose Int64 could handle values needed by uint and ulong.

The CLR does support unsigned numbers, but the CTS does not. VB.NET
does not allow you to violate the CTS yet (next version allows unsigned
numbers).

Speaking of which, is there an announced release date on VS 2005 yet? Will
it actually be in 2005? :o)

i believe uint was short in VB.Net but you can also look at Intptr.Uint as
well(it has loads of sizes etc)..

Dang I need to get off these pain meds and stop having surgeries it hurts my
head to think.
