Converting c# to vb.net

[Simon Woods]

Hi

I've run some binary tree c# code on various on-line converters. The code
compiles fine in c# but raises a few issues in vb.net. This is all pretty
new to me, so if this is obvious pls excuse me, but I wonder if someone
could explain why vb complains, and possible work rounds.

Thanks

Simon

a) vb complains of the following

Public Sub New(ByVal data As T)
Me.New(data, Nothing, Nothing)
End Sub

"Error 1 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' is most
specific for these arguments:
'Public Sub New(data As T, left As BinaryTree(Of T), right As
BinaryTree(Of T))': Not most specific.
'Public Sub New(data As T, left As T, right As T)': Not most specific."

Public Sub New(ByVal data As T, ByVal left As T, ByVal right As T)
Me.New(data, New BinaryTree(Of T)(left), New BinaryTree(Of
T)(right))
End Sub

Public Sub New(ByVal data As T, ByVal left As BinaryTree(Of T), ByVal right
As BinaryTree(Of T))
m_leftSubtree = lef
m_rightSubtree = right
Me.m_data = data
End Sub

b)
Public Interface ITree(Of T)

Sub Add(ByVal child As ITree(Of T))
Function GetChild(ByVal index As Integer) As ITree(Of T)
....

End Interface

Public Class BinaryTree(Of T)
Implements ITree(Of T)

Private m_leftSubtree As BinaryTree(Of T)
Private m_rightSubtree As BinaryTree(Of T)
Private m_data As T

.....

Public Function GetChild(ByVal index As Integer) As BinaryTree(Of T)
If index = 0 Then
Return m_leftSubtree
ElseIf index = 1 Then
Return m_rightSubtree
Else
Throw New ArgumentOutOfRa ngeException()
End If
End Function

Function GetChild(ByVal index As Integer) As ITree(Of T) Implements
ITree(Of T).GetChild
Return Me.GetChild(ind ex)
End Function

Error 7 'Public Function GetChild(index As Integer) As ITree(Of T)' and
'Public Function GetChild(index As Integer) As BinaryTree(Of T)' cannot
overload each other because they differ only by return types.

c)
Public Class BinaryTree(Of T)
Implements System.Collecti ons.IEnumerable

Function GetEnumerator() As System.Collecti ons.IEnumerator Implements
System.Collecti ons.IEnumerable .GetEnumerator
Return Me.GetEnumerato r()
End Function

Public Function Contains(ByVal item As T) As Boolean
Using enumerator As IEnumerator(Of T) = Me.GetEnumerato r()
...
Error 8 Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from
'System.Collect ions.IEnumerato r' to
'System.Collect ions.Generic.IE numerator(Of T)'.

RE: Converting c# to vb.net

Post the original C# code. Most of the on-line converter don't handle
generics accurately, so the conversion is incorrect.
