I have a bit of code.

[SIZE=2][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Value = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]And[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] m_AutoRotateTimer [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Is[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Nothing[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Then
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]m_AutoRotateTimer = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]New[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Timers.Timer(m_IncrementFrequency)
m_AutoRotateTimer.Elapsed += [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]New[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]AddressOf[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] IncrementTransisionSegment)
m_AutoRotateTimer.Start()
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If
[/COLOR][/SIZE]

In VB.net 2005 SP1 this line of code:
m_AutoRotateTimer.Elapsed += New System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(AddressOf IncrementTransisionSegment)
will not work, it's complaining about not calling an event directly and wanting a RaiseEvent. Can anyone tell me how to modify this line to make it work? It's a bit of code I need to port from c#, works peachy in c#.

Help please...

Wouldn't you know, 5 minutes after posting this I finally found my answer on some obscure web site toting information about a how to book.

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]
AddHandler[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] m_AutoRotateTimer.Elapsed, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]AddressOf[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] IncrementTransisionSegment
[/SIZE]

This is the equivilant code, and after a few adjustments, it works like a champ.

Thank you though for those of you who may have been searching for an answer while I typed this.

a c#-to-vb converter should have been able to handle that...

Not so much actually, the original code string you are looking at was what the converter spit out, the syntax is actually less attractive in C#.

 

[cjard]

Which converter? *curious*

Also, whether or not syntax is more or less attractive in C# is probably an "eye of the beholder" thing.. I personally find VB.NET messy, inconsistent and superfluous. C# by comparison, is much neater, simple, more elegant and internally consistent.. But as noted, personal preferences abound
On the specific case of events and delegates, i definitely prefer C#'s

obj.Event += new EventHandler(nameOfHandleMethod)

To AddHandler ... for the same reasons that I prefer string.Substring(...), to Mid(string, ...)

Well, you are right in the eye of the beholder, I prefer vb just because it's what I know, and I don't mind the minor differences. BTW we have string.substring as well.

Anyway, the converter I used was http://www.kamalpatel.net/ConvertCSharp2VB.aspx

if you know of a better one I am all ears... That one doesn't handle if-then-else statements very well either.

Indeed. In fact, it's the only thing you have if you remove the Microsoft.VisualBasic reference (thereby dumping all the old legacy VB6 rubbish, and using pure, modern VB.NET proper)

see if it gives a better result
