Are there VB.NET equivilents to the 'uint' and 'ulong' keywords as well as

Currently VB.NET does no support unsigned values. The ~ operator is
Not. Not is a bitwise operator in VB.NET.

Heh...so much for the "Common" language runtime. And programmer's choice.

The CLR does support unsigned numbers, but the CTS does not. VB.NET
