  • When Optional isn't so Optional!

    One of the features of VB that has been the point of many a discussion is the use of Optional parameters. Optional parameters allow you to specify a parameter as being just that, you are stating that it is optional and providing a default value. This quite often gets around defining numerous method overloads...

  • VB 9.0 Feature Focus

    In my previous post I commented that VB is coming of age in Visual Studio 2008 with better support for some of the debugging attributes.

    Today has been incredibly frustrating. With Bill's help I was able to work out some of the issues I was facing yesterday with regards to using the Single Instance Application feature in the VB Application Framework.

  • C# v's VB.NET v's others

    This sounds like I'm trying to start a food-fight. In fact, courtesy of Steve, Development Manager here at Intilecta , I thought I'd share an interesting article that talks about the Language V's Tool divide (Full article available here ).

  • While C# has the "because" operator, VB.NET has the "why" query operator

    Although VB.NET has in the past missed out on some fairly crucial language features such as anonymous methods and iterators (both absent from VB2005 which shipped with .NET FX 2.0) it seems that it is going to edge C# out in the race for the most obscure operators. Mitch posted about the C# implementation...
