The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Converting code to VB.NET

Asked by Corey2 in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Microsoft Visual C++.Net, .Net Editors & IDEs

Trying to convert the following code to VB.NET  In my attempt to do this on my own I must have missed something.  My code is below also.

Also reference my origional question that brought me to this code
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/.NET/Visual_Basic.NET/Q_22454308.html

Code to convert***************
[DllImport("iphlpapi.dll")]
public static extern int SendARP( int DestIP, int SrcIP, [Out] byte[]
pMacAddr, ref int PhyAddrLen );

IPAddress addr = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.0.1");
byte[] mac = new byte[6];
int len = mac.Length;
SendARP( (int)addr.Address, 0, mac, ref len );
string macAddress = BitConverter.ToString( mac, 0, len );

My conversion attempt*****************************

Public Class MACRetriever

    Declare Function SendARP Lib "iphlpapi.dll" Alias "SendARP" (ByVal DestIP As Int32, ByVal SrcIP As Int32, ByRef pMacAddr() As Byte, ByRef PhyAddrLen As Int32) As Int32

    Public Shared Function GetMac() As String
        Dim addr As Net.IPAddress = Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.3.1.245")
        Dim addrMe As Net.IPAddress = Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.3.1.247")
        Dim mac(6) As Byte
        Dim Mac2(6) As Byte

        Dim b As Byte
        For Each b In mac
            b = 1
        Next
        Dim len As Int32 = mac.Length
        Try
            SendARP(addr.Address, addrMe.Address, mac, len)

            Dim macAddress As String = BitConverter.ToString(Mac2, 0, len)
            Return macAddress
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
        Return "No Luck"
    End Function

End Class
