Translating code from VB6

[zurg]

Hi!
I translated code from VB6 (worked there) to VB.Net and not it doesn't
work...
It has problems with RasEnumConnections function...
Probably I have to add initialize but how should it look like?
I tried

tInfo.Initialize

but still not working....


Please help!!!

That's code from VB6:
-----------------------------------
Option Explicit

Public Declare Function RasEnumConnections Lib "rasapi32.dll" Alias
"RasEnumConnectionsA" (ByRef lpRasCon As RASCONN, ByRef lpcb As Long, ByRef
lpNumConnections As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function RasHangUp Lib "rasapi32.dll" Alias "RasHangUpA"
(ByVal hRasConn As Long) As Long

Public Type RASCONN
dwSize As Long
hRasConn As Long
szEntryName(256) As Byte
szDeviceType(16) As Byte
szDeviceName(129) As Byte
End Type

Sub Main()
Dim tInfo(10) As RASCONN
Dim lSize As Long
Dim lTotal As Long

tInfo(0).dwSize = Len(tInfo(0))
lSize = tInfo(0).dwSize * 10

If RasEnumConnections(tInfo(0), lSize, lTotal) <> 0 Then
MsgBox ("Error during enumeration atempt")
Else
Dim iCurrent As Long
MsgBox (Str(lTotal) + " active RAS connections were found")

For iCurrent = 0 To lTotal - 1
If RasHangUp(tInfo(iCurrent).hRasConn) Then
MsgBox ("Failed to diconnect one of the Ras connections")
Else
MsgBox ("One of the RAS connection was disconnected")
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
--------------------------
And after translation to VB.Net

Option Strict Off

Option Explicit On

Hi,

How to initialize tInfo.
Dim x As Integer

For x = 0 To 10

tInfo(x).Initialize()

Next

Thanks, that helped...

But I get an error when it has to run RasEnumConnections function:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in
RASGuard.exe

Additional information: Can not marshal field szEntryName of type RASCONN:
This type can not be marshaled as a structure field.

I have no idea what to do...
Once again - help!
