Darn you VB!

Hey...

Anybody here good at VB?
Seems that there is another tool that does what I need to do... in C++.
I can roughly tell what it does, but I'm not quite sure how to do it in C++. Can anybody here kinda translate into the procedures that I would need to do?

Code:

Dim MyByte1 As Byte
    Dim MyByte4 As Byte
    Dim MyByteX As Byte
    Dim ProbeString As String
    
    'Make the 9byte magic-probe string
    MyByte1 = (Val("&H" & "02" & "&"))
    MyByte4 = (Val("&H" & "20" & "&"))
    MyByteX = (Val("&H" & "0" & "&"))
    ProbeString = Chr(MyByte1) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByte4) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByteX) & Chr(MyByteX)

Thanks for all of your help!
