about 'New'

[learn]

Hi,

Can you tell me when we deed to use New
Dim New ... or just Dim?

I think when you use New when Dimming an object it actually creates an instance of that object all in one line, as opposed to VB6 when you would two lines:

Dim Object as Object
Set Object as new Object

One line can also be used in VB6, for example:

Dim c As New Collection
c.Add ("1234")
Print c(1)

 

[gallicus]

Yes it can, but not for objects. It depends on whether you are declaring variables objects. Our company has moved over to C# now as its .Net language of choice. I must spend sometime to check out VB.Net too!

You Set object = New object

Set object As New object is a syntax error

Except there is no Set keyword in VB.NET.

Then its two errors in one!
