Bit Shift Operators

[Simon]

I've tried using the bit-shift operators (>> and <<) in
VB.Net, but the compiler objects. Does anybody know
why? Has anybody used them?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I've used them without any problems. What says the compiler when he objects
it?
Do you use the right datatypes?

There isn't one.
Just write you own (divide or multiply by 2)

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

The development environment underlines the >> in blue and
says "Expression expected". It is version 7 of the
development environment and Visual Basic.Net.

Are you using Visual Studio 2003 and the .net Framework version 1.1?

VS2002 and .net 1.0 don't support bit shifting in VB.net.

Hope this helps,

Trev.

There isn't one.

VB.Net 2003 supports the << and >> bit shifting operators. VB.Net 2002
does NOT support them.
