The above code gives the following output:

No, the above code does not compile. What did you actually run?

Errors:
1: If without End If
2: 'sb' not declared (because the scope it was in was closed by the
previous line)
3: Next without For


Add the "Then" to the if statement, and it compiles just fine (well, as
long as you import System.Text).

Grr...

1: If DOES NOT REQUIRE a "Then" keyword. Try it and find out ;)

Doh! Your right it is optional in VB.NET. I guess, I never realized
it because VS just automatically adds it - and it used to be required
in VB5/6. I'm glad they made it optional...

2: The code DOES compile if you change the first instance of "Next i" to
"End If" .. my mistake on that.

I never noticed it... I just typed your code into VS - so it just did
it :)

3: See #2 for that fix.

Sorry, that's what I get for typing off top of head...I hate how OE tries to
re-format my code when I copy and paste, so I either open notepad and do 2
copies/pastes, or just type off top of head..

It is a pain that...
