\ is the integer division operator in VB.NET.

For C#, just use the standard / operator instead and assign the result to some integer type:

frontDigitsToKeep / 2

You need an integer typecast if frontDigitsToKeep itself isn't an integer:

(int) frontDigitsToKeep / 2

100 \ 9 = 11 in VB.NET is equivalent to 100 - (100 % 9) / 9 in C#.

frontDigitsToKeep - (frontDigitsToKeep % 2) / 2

---

The equivalent code in c# is

frontDigitsToKeep / 2

for such conversion from C# to VB.Net and vb.net to c# follow the link

Say you're trying to compute how many coins are packaged without caring for the leftovers. You would use \ to do integer division. So ( 4 * 5 ) \ 6 would equal 3.

As for how to put it into C#, you would use frontDigitsToKeep - (frontDigitsToKeep % 2) / 2.
