Probably because Uint32 is not CLS compliant. (see
System.CLSCompliantAttribute)

Because MS still thinks of VB.NET as a "toy" language.

You can always converto the UInt to an Int64, add to it, and convert it
back.

Operators for unsigned integers is coming in the next .NET release
(Whidbey).

They will work in the text version, Whidbey. Notice that unsigned
datatypes should not be used in interfaces (I am not referring to an
interface which can be implemented) because, as Armin says, they are not
CLS compliant.
