Translate C++ code to VB

I have a c++ function that converts an int type to char type, and I need to write a similar one in VB. Can anyone please help me? The c++ function is: template void ConvertToChar(char* buff,T item) { int itemSize = sizeof(item); for(int i=0;i>= 8; } } The call to the function is: short mMsgLength; char buff[2]; mMsgLength = fGetMsgLength(); // returns unsigned short ConvertToChar(buff,mMsgLength); Thanks, Kruvi ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
