mmm, then that's change from the most recent "official" release.  My libraries still show it flagged for non-CLS-compliant.

Yes; if the types are CLS-compliant, that means that any language that supports .NET *must* support these features.

Ah.

SByte to Byte, Byte to SByte enjoy

    Public Function ByteToSByte(ByVal bytAr As Byte) As SByte
