c# to vb .net (2005) help

I want to convert this c# code to vb, please help.

while (
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
window[++scan] == window[++match] &&
(scan < strend))
{
// Do nothing
}

Thanks

There is no simple translation for this in VB. The VB equivalent is quite convoluted.

is it not possible to do the same thing in vb .net?
guide me.

Thanks

Yes - it is possible. "alanfo" posted something close to an equivalent on another group.

But, as I mentioned elsewhere, there are many cases of "assignments within expressions" that cannot be generalized for automatic conversion. There are even some cases that have no possible VB equivalent (I'll try to dig one up for you today).

Here is a working equivalent - you should now see why automatic conversion of assignments within expressions is a bad idea - no one would want to see their code butchered like this by a converter:

Code:

---

Do
  scan = scan + 1
  match = match + 1
  If window(scan) = window (match) Then
      scan = scan + 1
      match = match + 1
      If window(scan) = window (match) Then
        scan = scan + 1
        match = match + 1
        If window(scan) = window (match) Then
            scan = scan + 1
            match = match + 1
            If window(scan) = window (match) Then
              scan = scan + 1
              match = match + 1
              If window(scan) = window (match) Then
                  scan = scan + 1
                  match = match + 1
                  If window(scan) = window (match) Then
                    scan = scan + 1
                    match = match + 1
                    If window(scan) = window (match) Then
                        scan = scan + 1
                        match = match + 1
                        If window(scan) = window (match) Then
                          If scan < strend Then
                              ' Do Nothing
                          Else
                              Exit Do
                          End If
                        Else
                          Exit Do
                        End If
                    Else
                        Exit Do
                    End If
                  Else
                    Exit Do
                  End If
              Else
                  Exit Do
              End If
            Else
              Exit Do
            End If
        Else
            Exit Do
        End If
      Else
        Exit Do
      End If
