C procedure to Vb.Net

[bobbynad]

vtputs (Char * f)

{

char cbuf[1024];

 

strcpy(cbuf,f);

strcat(cbuf,"\n");

vtProcessedTextOut(cbuf, strlen(cbuf));

 

return(0);

}

 

 

Please , How would be the above code written in VB.Net.

I'll tell you what that c code is supposed to do. I don't know vb.net, maybe someone else can help, sorry.

 

vtpus = a method that takes a cstring named 'f' and returns an int.

 

1) A cstring named 'cbuf' that can hold 1024 characters is made.

2) Copy the characters in 'f' to 'cbuf'

3) Invoke vtProcessedTextOut(). Parameter 1 is the string you want to use, and parameter 2 is the length of the string you want to use.

4) return 0

 

Just so you know, that code u posted won't compile and if f is more than 1024 bytes, you'll get a buffer overflow.

 

for .net, you would make a method, 'vtputs', that returns an Int32 and takes a String named 'f'.

 

line1 = vtProcessedTextOut(f, f.Length)

line2 = return 0

This should do the same thing, I don't know what vtProcessedTextOut is though, I'm treating it as a second procedure.

'The command ByVal creates a COPY of the original, ByRef gets an actual reference
Public Sub vtPuts(ByVal f() As Char)
vtProcessedTextOut(f, f.GetUpperBound(0))
End Sub
