Translating procW3Key from mbncsutil

I've translated the war3 cd key decoder from mbncsutil into vb.net. But I can't seem to get correct results. The compiled library works fine, so I know I've made an error somewhere. I don't have access to a C# interpreter so I can't see what values should be half way through the computation. This is a learning experience for me, so I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong. It may be a blind oversight on my part, or some obscure difference between vb and c#.

I did manage to totally rewrite the decodeKeyTable method into something legible, so that's something.

I'm not quite sure what my question is, I just want general help. If someone could tell me the true values of srcData before and after the //mult block for a known cd key, that would be very helpful.
Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

I am not going to pretend to know exactly how to help you, but you will need to show some code and how you are testing it to receive any help.

Sure thing, I just didn't know if it was appropriate to post so much code so soon.

Here is the relevant code:

The pack and unpack functions just convert numbers to and from arrays of bytes. I'm testing it by running it in the visual studio interpreter and comparing the public/product keys to the known values I sniffed using wireshark.
Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

I've solved the problem. I needed to switch endian-ness before the multiplication step, among other small things. Now I can see that the CD Key is shuffled into a base 5 number, then converted to base 2, then some cryptography stuff, then the keys come right out.
Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

As another update, I've massively improved on the code originally provided. It is now trivial to reverse the process and generate a cd key from given public/private/product keys (of course such keys won't necessarily work on BNET because not all public/private key pairs are valid).
