'AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'Integer' because 'Integer'is not a delegate type.

[Patrick Dugan]

I am *trying* to convert a VB6 program to vb.net. One error I am getting
that I cannot figure out is:

'AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'Integer' because
'Integer' is not a delegate type.

This is the offending line where the error is located:

res = UUIRTSetReceiveCallback(hDrvHandle, AddressOf IRReceiveCallback, Me)

This is the sub routine it is calling from the "AddressOf"

Public Sub IRReceiveCallback(ByVal IRCode As Integer, ByVal userData As
Integer)
Call PostMessage(frmMain.NewPtr, WM_GOT_RECEIVE, 0, IRCode)
End Sub


How can I modify this to use a "delegate"?

The AddressOf will only take a name without parameters.. Example:

Dim t As New Ststem.Threading.Thread(AddressOf DoSomething) ' ok

Dim t As New Ststem.Threading.Thread(AddressOf DoSomething(i As Integer)) '
error

All you need to do is create your delegate:

Delegate sub SomeName (IRCode As Integer, userData As Integer)

Then you can create your sub. Example

Private Sub SomeSub (iNumber As Integer, iNumber2 As SomeName) 'Use Delegate
....
End Sub

Thanks! The example that was mentioned previously wasn't much help. I
appreciate the assistance!
