Convert a few lines of a C# formula to VB.Net

I have a line of code written in C# that I need to convert to Vb.Net.
All converters out there does not produce a result.

In C#

I have this block...

 // Calculate number of 64K blocks
      uint          rowsPerBlock = _MAXBLOCK/widthLength;
      uint          blockSize = rowsPerBlock*widthLength;
      uint          blockCount;
      ushort        length;
      uint          remainder=dcSize;

Open in new window

Later the length variable is assigned a value and used for other calculations

 length = (ushort)((remainder < blockSize) ? remainder : blockSize);
        
        if (length == remainder)
        {
          comp.WriteByte(0x01);
        }
        else
        {
          comp.WriteByte(0x00);
        }
        
        comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(length), 0, 2);
        
        // Write one's compliment of LEN

Open in new window

All of the above I have converted, except the following line.

 comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes((ushort)~length), 0, 2);

Open in new window

What would be the correct conversion for this line?

Thanks

Try:

comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(DirectCast(Not length, UShort), 0, 2)

in this, you can convert any code,

Unfortunately ... the code, comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(DirectCast(Not length, UShort), 0, 2) did not work. There is no GetBytes overload that accepts this number of arguments

And the developerfusion site I have used for years. Unfortunately it has not worked correctly for a while. I have tried other conversion tools, with no luck.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Sorry, I forgot a paren:

comp.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(DirectCast(Not length, UShort)), 0, 2)

I now receive the following error.

Warning 5 Using DirectCast operator to cast a value-type to the same type is obsolete.

Thanks
