Need help converting C# to VB [closed]

Question

I used a tool to convert C# to VB. When I run the program in VB I get the following error:

Events cannot be declared with a delegate type that has a return type.

How do I correct this code?

C#:

using System;
[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]

namespace Link.API
{
  public delegate decimal DecimalStringDelegate(string s);
  public delegate long OrderDelegateStatus(Order o);
  public delegate void LongDelegate(long val);
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace Link.API
{
  public interface TLServer
  {
    event LongDelegate newOrderCancelRequest;
    event OrderDelegateStatus newSendOrderRequest;
    string ClientName(int clientnum);
    bool SymbolSubscribed(string sym);

    Basket AllClientBasket { get; }
  }
}

VB.NET:

Imports System.Text
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System
<Assembly: CLSCompliant(True)>

Namespace Link.API
  Public Delegate Function DecimalStringDelegate(ByVal s As String) As Decimal
  Public Delegate Function OrderDelegateStatus(ByVal o As Order) As Long
  Public Delegate Sub LongDelegate(ByVal val As Long)
End Namespace

Namespace Link.API
  Public Interface Server
    Event newOrderCancelRequest As LongDelegate
    Event newSendOrderRequest As OrderDelegateStatus
    Function ClientName(ByVal clientnum As Integer) As String
    Function SymbolSubscribed(ByVal sym As String) As Boolean
    ReadOnly Property AllClientBasket() As Basket
  End Interface
End Namespace

As the error alludes to, VB does not support events that use a delegate with a return type. So you can't convert the code directly. One workaround would be to change the delegate to use a ByRef parameter instead:

Public Delegate Sub DecimalStringDelegate(ByVal s As String, ByRef retVal as Decimal)
Public Delegate Sub OrderDelegateStatus(ByVal o As Order, ByRef retVal As Long)
