*RESOLVED* casting?

I saw this somewhere:
Dim clipRegion As New [Region](clipRect)

does this mean that it is casting the clipRect to Region type and giving its value to clipRegion?:confused:

Actually I think ()in the front of an object is casting in C# but this looks like VB.NET code so it is just saying that the type is Region instead of using the Region keyword.

You have to do the samething with Assembly:

VB Code:

'i forgot the imports but if you dim the following
'it'll error because it thinks that you are using
'Assembly as a keyword instead of the Type
dim asm as Assembly 'this does not work
 
'so you have to enclose it in [] to show it what you mean
'like you do for Enums in both VB6 and .NET
 
dim asm as [Assembly] 'this works

Region can be used to make collapsable Regions of code in the IDE so you have to [] around it to let it know you mean the Type Region instead.
