You can't compare UInts?

[keitsi]

cMyCmd.vb(24): Operator '<>' is not defined for types 'System.UInt32' and 'System.UInt32'.

 

This is not a problem, it's easily skipped by converting them to Int64's... but I'm just wondering what's the cause of this :P

 

I don't get it :)

You can't compare two integers of the same type, but you can first convert them to signed 64bit and then compare.

 

Anyone else bumped to this?

you can use the Equals method ( also there's a CompareTo method , which returns -1 for False , or 0 for True )

       Dim uint1 As UInt32 = Convert.ToUInt32(123)
       Dim uint2 As UInt32 = Convert.ToUInt32(123)

       Dim bResult As Boolean = uint1.Equals(uint2) '/// compare the 2 UInt32's using Equals

       MessageBox.Show(bResult)

Do you have any reason for using UInt32? Its not a CLS compliant data type.

Thanks, didn't notice that function.

Yes, I'm working with libMySQL.dll which returns uints. Haven't tried though if Int64s work (return values will get screwed?).
