Error: "Cannot implicitly convert type 'long' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)"

I converted VB.net code to C# code on a website:

Vb.net code:

VB

Private Enum TRACKMOUSEEVENT_FLAGS
    TME_HOVER = &H1&
End Enum

Converted result (C# code):

C#

private enum TRACKMOUSEEVENT_FLAGS
        {
            TME_HOVER = 0x1L
        }

When i build it, i get an error: "Cannot implicitly convert type 'long' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)" at "TME_HOVER = 0x1L". I dont understand it, how to fix that error? Thanks.

Did you try TME_HOVER = 1?

Thanks you, it's great idea.

You should try setting it to 1. &H1& in VB.Net translates to 1 in integer.

Solution 1

For C# try this:

C#

private enum TRACKMOUSEEVENT_FLAGS : long
        {
            TME_HOVER = 0x1L
        }

Now the type of all your elements in the enum must be long.
Hope this helps.
