Please let me know right away if I need to go to another newsgroup for this.

We are coding our MCMS site using VB.NET, as that's what we know best.  I
have a book that has some good controls in it, but their code is in C#.
I've been able to convert most of these without a problem, but I'm having
problems with the following snipet:

C# Statement
if(channelItem is Channel)
{ ... }
channelItem is the variable name, and is type ChannelItem.

I tried to convert this to the following in VB:
if channelItem is Channel then
...
end if

However it says that "Channel" is a type and cannot be used as an
expression.

I would go right to a VB or C# group, but this uses MCMS specific object
types

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I'm no expert at VB.NET, but this might work for you:

If TypeOf channelItem Is Channel Then
....
End If

A colleague of mine suggested using a converter such as
http://www.kamalpatel.net/ConvertCSharp2VB.aspx to convert c# to
VB.Net.
