Constant expression not representable in type 'UInteger'

Question

If I run the following code in C# then it runs fine

UInt32 a
a = 0x9E3779B9

But when I run the same code in VB.Net then it gives me error "Constant expression not representable in type 'UInteger'"

Dim a As UInt32
a = &H9E3779B9

Answer 1

Just put UI at the end

a = &H9E3779B9UI

From MSDN

You can follow a prefixed literal with a literal type character. The following example shows this.

Dim counter As Short = &H8000S
Dim flags As UShort = &H8000US

Answer 2

I think you can solve you problem by viewing this link see the workarounds section in this link

Just add "UI" to the end of the literal:

      Dim x as UInteger = &HF2894233UI

Otherwise &H returns a signed Integer
