I am trying to get past a simple error that I am

recieving when attempting to use a valid VB6 class in
VB.Net

my code is as follows:

in VB6

Public Function putN(ByVal str, buffer As Variant, dec As Long) As Boolean
putN = False
Dim Strb() As Byte
Dim e As Long
Dim i As Long
e = UBound(buffer)

Strb = str
For i = e To 0 Step -1
buffer(i) = Strb(i * 2)
Next
putN = True
End Function

In VB.Net it is:

Public Function putN(ByVal str As String, ByRef

buffer As Object, ByVal dec As Long) As Boolean
