What is VB's Integer &H85 in C#?

[Malfunction]

I'm trying to translate this VB declaration:
Private Const WM_NCPAINT As Integer = &H85 into C#:
private const int WM_NCPAINT = &H85;
Honestly I don't know what type of number format that &H85 is so I'm having trouble converting the code.

Dim WM_NCPAINT As Integer = &H85

I think its a hexadecimal number

Yes &H indicates a hexnumber but in the MSDN I can't find how to declare a hexnumber in c#

 

[wessamzeidan]

Shouldn't it be the same as you declare it in VB, I mean something like

int WM_NCPAINT=&H85;

If I'm not mistaken, I think you have to prepend "0x" such that:

const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;

That's it...many thx. Strange I couldn't find it in the MSDN.

The vb to c# conversion tool Instant C# gives:

private const int WM_NCPAINT = 0X85;
