Global Option syntax in VB.Net connector?

GPF

I am reading through the Web Connectors Developer's Guide on how to use the User & Global Options but I'm struggling with the syntax in my VB.Net code.

The samples are very informative but they are all in C# and I can't figure out how to write it in VB.Net.

In particular, from page 84:
string sqlServerName = ((GlobalOptionsImpl)GlobalOptions).SqlServerName;

I have tried a few variations on this unsuccessfully. Can anyone enlighten me?

If anyone has any other Connector code in VB.Net that they are willing to share I would love to get my hands on it. Unfortunately I learn 10 times faster by looking at existing code than reading about it! :-)

Many thanks

I found the syntax I was needing:

DirectCast(GlobalOptions, GlobalOptionsImpl).SQLServer

I am loading the connection strings into variables to make it easier, like so:

Dim sqlServer as String = DirectCast(GlobalOptions, GlobalOptionsImpl).SQLServer
Dim sqlUserId as String = DirectCast(GlobalOptions, GlobalOptionsImpl).SQLUserId
Dim sqlPassword as String = DirectCast(GlobalOptions, GlobalOptionsImpl).SQLPassword

Everything is working well now.
Cheers
