I think I finally have it!

Here is the final version, uncompressed and compressed:

UnCompressed:


Public Shared Function Build64(ByVal value As Object) As UInt64
        Dim ui64High As UInt64 = (value.high << 32)
        Dim ui64Low As UInt64 = CLng("&H" & (Hex("&H" & Hex(value.low))))
        Return Convert.ToUInt64(ui64High Or ui64Low)
    End Function

Compressed:


Public Shared Function Build64(ByVal value As Object) As UInt64
        Return Convert.ToUInt64((value.high << 32) Or CLng("&H" & (Hex("&H" & Hex(value.low)))))
End Function

I double checked my numbers whith what is being reported on the F5 and they are correct. Unless someone sees a problem with what I am doing, I am going with it.

Thanks for all the help so far!
