    if statement [RESOLVED]

    I was browsing some source code and saw this IF statement:

    VB Code:
    1. If m > n Then n = m

    2.         GetFilename = Mid(Path, n + 1)

    it has no END IF. I didn't know you could omit that part.

    comments?

    You can IF AND ONLY if the statement to execure upon true value is on the same line. That would be the "n = m" part in this case.
    "GetFilename = Mid(Path, n + 1)" will ALWAYS run, no matter what the result of the IF statement is.

    I can't remember where I've read this, but there may be a bug with using the one line IF statement - memory leak or something. Maybe that's just the compact framework.
