'Implements' is not valid on operator declaration
An Operator Statement specifies the Implements (Visual Basic) keyword.
Only a Function or Sub procedure, a property, or an event can implement an interface member. For more information on implementation, see Interface Implementation Examples in Visual Basic.
An Operator procedure requires both the Public and Shared keywords, and a conversion operator requires either the Widening or the Narrowing keyword. For more information, see Operator Procedures.
Error ID: BC33004
To correct this error
If you intend this procedure to implement an interface member, rewrite it as a Function or Sub procedure, a property, or an event.
If you intend this procedure to define an operator, remove the Implements keyword from its declaration.
