[Solved] Odd conversion for C# increment (++) operator to VB

[David McClelland]

Hi there,

We recently used the Telerik code converter for some C# code (don't ask my why the original author did it this way, "clever" code like this can get you in trouble) - it's part of a convoluted loop, but here are the relevent 2 lines of code:

int i = 1;
string s = Convert.ToString(i++);

to VB.NET:

Dim i As Integer = 1
Dim s As String = Convert.ToString(System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i),i - 1))

That didn't produce the expected results      :-)
