    You're right. I'm doing it in the way you're talking :) Of course I can
    convert C++ code to VB code indirectly, but before I want to fond out is
    there a direct way :)
    But I found places, where code could be converted almost one-to-one and I
    wanted to know where
    is the limit of one-to one converting :), because the code is really huge
    and it will be very useful and will
    save very much time if I could find more places where code could be
    converted easily :)

    Thanks for answer.

    There is also one question: what is the best method to convert overloaded
    index operators with return type of reference?
    for example:
    class A
    {
        private: int data[100];
        public: int& operator[] (int index) {return data[index];}
    }

    Now I can create function like this:

    Private data(100) As Integer

    Public Sub operator_index(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal NewValue As Integer)
        data(index) = NewValue
    End Sub

    That's all, but is there any better resolution?
