How to use a Name rather than OID in vb.net - vb.net

Question

Good day,
I am trying to figure out this code from sharp-snmp samples.
https://github.com/lextudio/sharpsnmplib-samples/blob/master/Samples/VB.NET/snmpset/Program.vb
I am using the vb.net SET sample.
Public Sub New(id As Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.ObjectIdentifier, data As Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.ISnmpData)
Member of Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.Variable
Public Sub New(id As UInteger(), data As Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.ISnmpData)
Member of Lextm.SharpSnmpLib.Variable
Is my Name syntax just wrong, or is it that it must be an OID integer? When I use the OID it runs, when I use the name it dies.
System_Operation_Mode.0 'name
1.3.6.1.4.1.21703.100.1.1.0 'oid
This is the part of the SET sample where it dies at the asterix ** at the bottom of the code.
Extra(i) is filled out with the above Name instead of the OID.
ReDim args(3)
args(0) = "192.168.45.5" 'IP Address
args(1) = NetworkConfig.addrModeStringCommand 'command string name System_Operation_Mode.0
args(2) = "i" 'tell it what data type you are sending
args(3) = NetworkConfig.StaticMode 'mode you want from the IPNetwork, in this case static
Dim p As OptionSet = New OptionSet().Add("c:", "Community name, (default is public)", Sub(v As String)
If v IsNot Nothing Then
community = v

Return
End Select
Dim test As New Variable(*New ObjectIdentifier(extra(i))*, data)
vList.Add(test)
i = i + 3
End While
I have been using using the "Name" instead of the "OID" is there a way to change so it can read either, or have them converted? Or will I have to go back use the OIDs?
