The ternary operator is causing a error: Compiler Error Message: BC36637: The '?' character cannot be used here. I want to use a tenary operator to display text based on the the field Inactive containing a true or false text value.
In Perl (and other languages) a conditional ternary operator can be expressed like this:my $foo = $bar = $buz ? $cat : $dog;Is there a similar operator in VB.NET?
View 2 RepliesI saw this in some vb.net source code:Dim sTest As String = "" & drTest("column")
I was told that if drTest("column") is nothing, then sTest will be assigned "", so it is in effect doing:
Dim sTest As String = If("",Nothing,drTest("column"))What is the downside of doing it the first way I showed?
What is the difference between using If and IIf?
I'm usually reasonably good at translating C# into VB, but I'm a bit stuck partially due to the ternary operator in this function and also because I don't fully understand what is happening with the "from x in dataSource.OfType<object>() select 1).Sum()"

Suppose we have a nullable value in vb.net: Dim i as Integer? We want to assign a value to it, basing on a condition, and using a ternary operator, because it's so neat and stuff: i = If(condition(), Nothing, 42) That is, if a condition is true, employ the null-ability, otherwise the value. At which point the shooting occurs. For no apparent reason VB compiler decides that the common base type for Nothing and Integer is Integer, at which point it silently translates the statement to: [Code]

View 2 RepliesThe following compiles in VB.NET (with Option Strict On) and outputs False:[code]Why does that work?The documentation clearly states that the three-argument version of If requires a Boolean as the first parameter:[code]So, why does this work? Is it a bug (or "hidden feature") in the compiler or is it a bug in the documentation and Boolean? is actually a valid type for the first argument of If(a, b, c)?In C#, b ? x : y does not compile if b is of type bool?.I've reported this issue to Microsoft Connect. Someone from MS has replied and confirmed that the documentation will be updated to include the Boolean? case.
View 4 RepliesIf you assign a value to a nullable integer via a ternary operator, it can't become null..While this question may seem like a duplicate of many, it is actually being asked for a specific reason.Take this code, for example: Dim n As Integer? = If(True, Nothing, 1) In that code, the ternary expression should be returning Nothing, but it's setting n to 0. If this were C#, I could say default(int?) and it would work perfectly. Now it looks like I am going to have to ditch the ternary and use a regular If block, but I really want to use the ternary. If Nothing were truly VB.NET's equivalent to C#'s default, how can you explain this behavior?
View 1 RepliesI am tightening up my coding with the Option Strict set to ON. It has now produced alot of errors. An example of this is:
If AllocatedDGV.Rows(i).Cells("RoomNumber").Value = RoomsAvailableDGV.Rows(j).Cells("RoomName").Value Then
It gives me the following error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.
I need to write an interface to get data to/from our data files.
We have a low level class that holds field values for each record read from the files.
This just holds two values, the value read from the file (DBValue) and the updated value that may need to be written back to the file (CurrentValue).
These values may be any of the standard value types (integer, date etc) or a string.
Either value (DBValue or CurrentValue) may be null if not defined.
I have written the class to manage this data which works fine while option strict is NOT on.
But we have an office policy of having option strict on all the time.
When I put option strict on, my object value comparisons fail with the error: "Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity."
Question, how should I change the following code to handle option strict on ...
