    Resolved [RESOLVED] Whats this all about?

    Whats up with classes, objects or types that are wrapped inside []...
    eg
    Code:
    Dim myassembly As [Assembly] = [Assembly].LoadFrom(path)
    I dont want to know about the assembly class, just the [] as I have seen it appear several times without explanation, I have tried google but have not found any explanation of this anywhere...

    Signatures suck

    Assembly is a keyword, and it is also a class. The [] tell the compiler that you mean the class not the keyword.
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Funny, I've never seen that before, but this is the second thread on the subject in the last month.

    It's a bad idea from a maintenance point of view to name a class using a keyword. Confusion is right around the corner.
    My usual boring signature: Nothing
