Hi friends,
I created a VB class with function in visual studio 2005.I got error that can not convert vb system collection.
I am a new person to learn VB studio. I do not know to fix it.
Please review my codes
Thanks,

        Me.studentname = studentname
        Me.studentid = studentid
    End Sub

            vn = "jimmy" & i
            vid = "1111" & i
            sb.Add(vn, vid)
            'Messagebox.show(vn & "----" & vid, "debug info")
        Next

The VB "Collecton" is an internal-to-VB-only collection type. It is *NOT* part of the standard ASP.NET Collections package. That is, a SortedList is *NOT* an instance of a VB.NET Collection.

Just change your Function declaration to explicitly say it is returning a SortedList.

You really want to do that, anyway, since you are returning a particular type of the generic class.

If that cause difficulties at other points in your code, then let's look again.
