trouble converting code from vb to vb.net

[isaac rainsford]

i have some code that works fine in vb6, but when i paste it into vb.net
2003, i get errors thrown...

can anyone tell me a good port of call for help converting this code???
i am assuming thing like changing my LONGs to INT32's or INT64's will be
required, etc.

thanks in advance !

You will find some material here:

Notice that the tool mentioned above is a little bit "buggy".

tx for the reply, it was useful for future reference, but didn't help
in this situation.

i'm mainly having problems with a particular function GetNamedSecurityInfo
