C#

MaintenanceService svc = new MaintenanceService();
List<Assignment> assignments = svc.GetAssignments().ToList<Assignment>; // Fails here

Thanks, but I finally figured it out.
I am fairly new to VB.net but I am getting by. I am almost clueless about C# though. I have managed to find a C# function that does what I need
and have converted it with the online code converter. It runs in VB and works but two of the four calculations are not working. (I had hoped to get it
working in C# to test the formulas.) It takes a string (a mapping Tile Quadkey, 02311102221333130 for example) and calculates the bounding box for that
map tile(Lat/Lon) corner positions coordinates of the four corners). The calculated values W (West Longitude) N (North Latitude) E (East Longitude) and
S (South Latitude). I have set up a new C# project, a console app. I have used the code at bottom and created a new class in that program. On the form Program.cs
I don't have a clue about how to make use of that class. The test value would be Quadkey = "02311102221333130" 
It appears that it returns a string of the array bounds, values separated by commas.
If someone wanted to convert this to working VB.net that would really great, but I hardly expect that.

            WMSHandler outCl = new WMSHandler();
            double N = 0;
            // Call Output class' method
            string MyString = outCl.QuadKeyToBBox("02311102221333130");
            Console.WriteLine(MyString);
            Console.ReadLine();
