Conversion of C# to VB.net will not compile <param name="x"...

Question

I cannot figure out how to convert this code from C# to VB.net. It says - Argument not specified for parameter ‘y’ in the calling code below.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Calling CODE:

list.Sort(Utility.CompareContactListsBySortOrder) - error here in VB

CODE:

    /// <summary>
    /// Defines the compare criteria for two Contact List instances
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="x">Contact List to be compared</param>
    /// <param name="y">Contact List to be compared</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static int CompareContactListsBySortOrder(ContactList x, ContactList y)
    {
        if (x.SortOrder.HasValue && y.SortOrder.HasValue)
        {
            return x.SortOrder.Value.CompareTo(y.SortOrder.Value);
        }

        return 0;
    }

Answer 1

list.Sort(AddressOf Utility.CompareContactListsBySortOrder)

In VB, you use the AddressOf operator to take the address of method to create a delegate. In C#, you just specify the method name.

Answer 2

you need to change it to: list.Sort(AddressOf Utility.CompareContactListsBySortOrder)
