Another C# To VB.net ? how so?

[Smoke]

I have found another small code from C# that i cannot convert.
My goal is to convert an existing EXIF metadata reader that is on C# to VB.net ... maybe someone already know of one made for VB.net
and can solve my problem..?

Besides, here is the code, i have no idea what |= is in VB.net

public EXIFRational(byte[] data)
{
Denominator = 0;
Numerator = 0;
if (data.Length >= 8)
{
Numerator = data[0];
Numerator |= (data[1] >> 8);
Numerator |= (data[2] >> 16);
Numerator |= (data[3] >> 24);
Denominator = data[4];
Denominator |= (data[5] >> 8);
Denominator |= (data[6] >> 16);
Denominator |= (data[7] >> 24);
}
}

|= is a logical OR with assignment. The VB equivalent would be "variable =
variable Or othervariable"

Our Instant VB C# to VB.NET converter (free demo at www.instantvb.com)
produces the following:

'INSTANT VB WARNING: The following constructor is declared outside of its
associated class:
Public Sub New(ByVal data As Byte())
Denominator = 0
Numerator = 0
If data.Length >= 8 Then
Numerator = data(0)
Numerator = Numerator Or (data(1) >> 8)
Numerator = Numerator Or (data(2) >> 16)
Numerator = Numerator Or (data(3) >> 24)
Denominator = data(4)
Denominator = Denominator Or (data(5) >> 8)
Denominator = Denominator Or (data(6) >> 16)
Denominator = Denominator Or (data(7) >> 24)
End If
End Sub

Apart from other replies, I think I should say that this code looks
extremely wrong. It looks like it's rebuilding Int32's from Bytes: but
if that is the intention, surely these shift operators should be << and
not >> ? For example, data[1] is a Byte; rightshifting it 8 times is
going to produce zero, always.

Anyone else?
