What I Like About VB .NET (Add your comments)
I just started learning VB .NET (as you may already know), but as I was learning it, I made a list of all the things I liked and found cool. I thought I would share them and maybe you guys could chime in with your favorite .NET things. I knew VB6 before moving to .NET, so most of my favorites come from things that were missing in VB6.
- AndAlso, OrElse
- Is keyword (Select Case MyInt : Case 1 to 20 : Case Is > 20 : End Select)
- *=, /=, +=, -= operators. I love these and always missed them in VB6.
- Assignment and declaration can occur on the same line. (Dim MyInt As Integer = 20)
- Making a comment like 'TODO automatically adds a line to your task list saying whatever you put on that comment line.
- All the IDE changes
- Bigger arrays. They can now hold 2^64 instead of 2^32.
- Arrays with properties.
- XP Styles are very easy to do. There a few bugs still, but those can be fixed with Skybound.
- Menus are easy to make!
Feel free to share your favorite features of the IDE/language/whatever.
