Translate from C/C++ to VB.net

[Petar Popara]

Please could someone translate this for me from C/C++ to VB.net?

#define MY_CONST 1

typedef struct _MYSTRUCT {
const char* p1;
int p2;
char p3[20];
short p4;
unsigned long p5;
} MYSTRUCT;

void main()
{
HINSTANCE someDLL = LoadLibrary("some.dll");

MYSTRUCT prop;
prop.p1 = "some text";
prop.p2 = 2;
prop.p4 = 8;
prop.p5 = 10;

MYSTRUCT (*fnMyFunc)(MYSTRUCT);
fnMyFunc=(MYSTRUCT (*)(MYSTRUCT)) GetProcAddress(someDLL,"myFunc");
MYSTRUCT result = fnMyFunc(prop);
}

Thank you in advance.

At least, could you please tell me how can I translate:

char a[20]

and

unsigned int i?

Is this a proper translation?

Private Const MY_CONST = 1

<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> Public Structure MYSTRUCT
Public p1 As String
Public p2 As Integer
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, sizeconst:=20)> Public p3 As String
Public p4 As Short
Public p5 As Integer
End Structure

Private Declare Function myFunc Lib "some" (ByVal prop As MY_STRUCT) As
MY_STRUCT

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim prop As MY_STRUCT
Dim res As MY_STRUCT

prop.p1 = "some text..."

res = myFunc(prop)
End Sub

This is outside my area of expertise, so I'm asking, not declaring.
However, wouldn't 'Private Const MY_CONST = 1' be better written as
'#Const MY_CONST = 1' instead? Also, wouldn't P5 be better declared as
UInt64 rather than Integer?
Thanx,
Ralf
