How do I do a right shift and a left shift like this one in vb.net?

Divide by two is the same as shifting the bits right once, multiply by two is the same as shifting left once.

 

If you have VB.NET 2003, however, VB has << and >> operators.

So (data[position++] ) /256 would be wrong for shifting right 8?

The / 256 part is right, but you can't do

 

data[position++] in VB. :p

 

 

... data(position) / 256
position += 1
