Declaring a hex constant in VB.NET
c#, constants, hex, vb.net
Solution
C# uses `0x` and VB.NET uses `&H` as the prefix to specify hexadecimal numbers. try this.
Public Const temp As Integer = &HE6359A60
Sub Main
End Sub
And it could be as Uint also:
Public Const temp As UInt32 = &HE6359A60UI
Sub Main
End Sub
Check MSDN's Type Characters (Visual Basic) documentation for defining hexadecimal and octal literals:
The compiler normally construes an integer literal to be in the decimal (base 10) number system. You can force an integer literal to be hexadecimal (base 16) with the &H prefix, and you can force it to be octal (base 8) with the &O prefix. The digits that follow the prefix must be appropriate for the number system.

Problem
How can I convert the following C# hexadecimal into a VB.NET hexadecimal? ``` private const UInt32 temp = 0xE6359A60; ``` I tried the following, but it doesn't work. ``` Public Const temp As System.UInt32 = 0xE6359A60 ```
