Hi. . .
i got this code in visual c3 and i want to code it in visual basic. . .somebody help me please in doing it. . .

byte* p = (byte*)(void*)Scan0;

                int nOffset = stride - b.Width * 3;

                for (int y = 0; y < b.Height; ++y)
                {
                    for (int x = 0; x < b.Width; ++x)
                    {
                        blue = p[0];
                        green = p[1];
                        red = p[2];

                        pixel = red / 255.0;
                        pixel -= 0.5;
                        pixel *= contrast;
                        pixel += 0.5;
                        pixel *= 255;
                        if (pixel < 0) pixel = 0;
                        if (pixel > 255) pixel = 255;
                        p[2] = (byte)pixel;

                        pixel = green / 255.0;
                        pixel -= 0.5;
                        pixel *= contrast;
                        pixel += 0.5;
                        pixel *= 255;
                        if (pixel < 0) pixel = 0;
                        if (pixel > 255) pixel = 255;
                        p[1] = (byte)pixel;

                        pixel = blue / 255.0;
                        pixel -= 0.5;
                        pixel *= contrast;
                        pixel += 0.5;
                        pixel *= 255;
                        if (pixel < 0) pixel = 0;
                        if (pixel > 255) pixel = 255;
                        p[0] = (byte)pixel;

                        p += 3;
