the following line works fine in C#...

public const int LocalHeaderSignature = 'P' | ('K' << 8) | (3 << 16) | (4 << 24);

when I converted it to vb .net, it doesn't allow me to use "<<" with chars

Public Const LocalHeaderSignature As Integer = "P"c Or ("K"c << 8) Or (3 << 16) Or (4 << 24)

what can I do in this case to convert it to vb?

Please help me.

Thanks
