Kim,
In addition to the others comments.

Type in VB6 is now Structure in VB.NET.

Integer in VB6 is now Short in VB.NET
Long in VB6 is now Integer in VB.NET

String * CCHDEVICENAME in VB6 is not supported per se in VB.NET, you can use
the Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBFixedStringAttribute in its place, however check
the online help for the proper usage & when it is actually used.

Hope this helps
Jay
