Re: String() declaration?

Michel,

With VB 2008 it is in my idea more and more

Dim temp() ={"hello","world"}

You probably don't agree this with me, but I have the meaning that as less you have to write and let done by the computer the better.

The effect is the same. It is a complete early binded array of strings.

Hello Anil ,

Dim temp() as String

is the classic VB syntax to declare an array

VB also supports

Dim temp as String()


This method is more intuitiv to programmers with a C background , this is also a big advantage for coders who both use C# and VB
in early versions of VB.Net ( 2002 and i guess 2003 i believe , but i am not sure ) there was a difference

Between the two the new method could not be used to declare and instantiate the array in one line

Dim temp() as String ={"hello","world"} worked but Dim temp as String()={"hello","world"} did not work in early versions

Nowadays in VB.Net 2005 and 2008 both work the same so it becomes a mather of taste wich one of the 2 you use
as you see the VB language also evolves in a forward kind of way :-)

I concur with Onur regarding his remark that you see more and more "Dim temp as String()"in code examples on the net

Can someone please explan the difference between

Dim temp as String()

and

Dim temp() as String

in terms of syntax and practical usage? I thought I knew, but of late have become confused due to reasons too complicated to go in here.

Will appreciate your inputs.
