C# Lambda to VB.Net

Question

I'm trying to convert a function in C# to VB.Net 2008 and can't seem to make the Lamda expression work. The code is taken from a neat little C# SMTP server that saves emails to Azure blob storage

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

    public void Run()
    {
        var mutex = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        while (true)
        {
            mutex.Reset();
            listener.BeginAcceptSocket((ar) =>
                {
                    mutex.Set();
                    processor.ProcessConnection(listener.EndAcceptSocket(ar));
                }, null);
            mutex.WaitOne();
        }
    }

Answer 1

The lambda is basically just shorthand for an anonymous delegate.

so replace the

(ar)=> {//Do Stuff}

with

Sub(ar)
 'Do stuff
End Sub

Answer 2

I managed to get it converted correctly for VB 2008 using InstantVB from Tangible Software

Public Sub Run()
    Dim mutex = New ManualResetEvent(False)
    Do
        mutex.Reset()
        listener.BeginAcceptSocket(Function(ar) AnonymousMethod1(ar, mutex), Nothing)
        mutex.WaitOne()
    Loop
End Sub

Private Function AnonymousMethod1(ByVal ar As Object, ByVal mutex As ManualResetEvent) As Object
    mutex.Set()
    processor.ProcessConnection(listener.EndAcceptSocket(ar))
    Return Nothing
End Function

I infer you're using Visual Studio 2008 in which case you can't write multiline lambda statements in VS2008.

You'll have to be using VS2010 otherwise you'll have to use Anthony's answer.
