Re: IsNothing(_myVar) vs. _myVar Is Nothing

Dave,
I should add, that I would attempt to be consistent with the project,
solution, team, department, & company. On whether I used (1) or (2).


For example: In new projects/solutions that I create I normally use (2).
However if I inherited a solution that used (1), I would probably continue
using (1) in that project...


FWIW: In VB 2005 (aka Whidbey, due out in Nov 2005) a new IsNot operator is
being introduced which lends itself well to the syntax of (2).

VS 2005 info:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/

IsNot operator:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/t3bat82c(en-us,vs.80).aspx


Of course with (1) you can simply use "Not IsNothing(_myVar)" instead...


Hope this helps
Jay
