C# servercode to VB

I have this code in C#.

 <asp:Image runat="server" ID="imgScreenshot" ImageUrl="<%#"data:Image/png;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String((byte[])Eval("Screenshot")) %>"

It converts the varbinary image to a img and displays it. This works perfect in C#, but can't get it working in my VB.net project. Getting the

"Servercode is not properly coded".

Can anyone help me convert it to VB?

In vb.net "&" is the concatenation operator and an array is defined with parentheses "()" instead of brackets "[]". Also, type conversion syntax is a bit different.

I believe this would be the conversion from C# to VB.net:

ImageUrl='<%#"data:Image/png;base64," & Convert.ToBase64String(CType(Eval("Screenshot"), Byte()))%>'

Alternatively as mentioned in the comments you can use the string.format method:

ImageUrl='<%# String.Format("data:Image/png;base64,{0}", Convert.ToBase64String(CType(Eval("Screenshot"), Byte())))%>'
