Question

User-284642143 posted

A little weak with C# and Linq so wondering if someone could give me a hand and convert this line of code to VB .Net

from c in credentials
select c <= 0x7f ? (byte)c : (byte)'?')

0x7f is an ascii character but not sure about the ?

Im confused after select c not sure if this should be a function or not. Any help is appreciated

Thanks

It seems to me that code does not compile in C# at all, without a lot of work.

So, that makes it VERY hard to answer your question directly and accurately.

That said, the following links may help you along the way.

You would likely need to use something like this as Visual Basic uses the '&HE' when referencing hex values : 

Dim q = From c In credentials _
        Select If(c <= &HE7f, Convert.ToByte(c), Convert.ToByte("?"C)

In Visual Basic, the If() statement is going to be equivalent to C#'s ternary '?' operator.
