I have noticed in VB.Net that most Dim statements also include an assignment. Eg:Dim myvar As String = "Hello World"As this wasn't possible in VB6 I have always done the following:
Dim myvar As String
myvar = "Hello World"
I'm trying to assign the pattern regex looks for using an if statement like below. Then I use match to test, returning t/f from match.success. The patterns work fine, and finds what i am looking for in a test data set. The problem comes when I try to assign a pattern to test for via an if statement (assigned to SearchRegexString below) and then try to match using the appropriate object. so basically
SearchRegexString = "TestStringA"Object = new regex (pattern, options)object.match(string).success
[Code]...
doesn't work. match.success always returns false when the if then construct is used even if the phrase exists in the string. Is this a compiler issue, beyond the limits of Regex? what is going on?

Are all values contained in a combobox automatically treated as a non-string even when they are string values (in this case "Male" & "Female") and what is the correct way of assigning the value selected in a combobox to a variable?

I'm working on a home project using DirectShow.Net. to learn some VB.net. Most of the examples I've found have all been in C# so I'm looking through code for ideas and converting where I need to. I keep stumbling upon these declarations and I'm unsure how to convert it to a VB.Net statement.[code]Then the second part seems to be assigning the value but as its made up of two parts im unsure how that works?
View 2 RepliesWhat is the correct way of assigning the selected index's value from a listbox to a variable? The user selects an item in a listbox and then the output changes depending on their selection.
I use:variablename = listbox.text
in the listBox_SelectedIndexChanged event and this works.
When I use the button_click event I use:
variablename = listbox.selectedindex
But this does not work in the listbox_selectedindexchanged event.you let me know if it is okay to use it like I did above or if I will run into problems and why you cannot use the selectedindex method.

View 4 Replieswondering about the relatively efficiency of declaring oop variables in the loops, emselves, or declaring them before first use. Here are some examples:Declare early:
Dim ix As Integer
Dim currentNode As System.Xml.XmlNode
For ix = 1 To 100

For i As Integer = 1 To 10
Dim j As Integer = 10
Next
now my question is, Is memory allocated to j every time its executed inside for loop? or only value of 10 is assigned on subsequent iterations?
im sure im mis-wording the concept but here it is anyways. I know in CSharp you can do
el.AppendChild(new UISize(file, "TSize") { CX = 95, CY = 20 });
which declares a temporary bucket variable and then assigns the associate property values to the variable. Which then sends it to the XMLElement AppendChild method. What is this design concept called? What is the conversion to VB.Net? I have tried using my own online utility that does a 90-95% conversion rate from C# <-> VB.Net. It has failed in this instance, and so need a hand-up on what i am looking to do to convert this from C# to VB.Net. I would really like to not have to do a long-declaration of a variable with assignments, if at all possible.
I'm making a call to my DLL file (prototyping 30+ functions), and want to be able to switch between different versions of the DLL quickly while in development.

I've been programming for many years in many languages and I've seen the variable declarations conventions change. With VS 2010 I've noticed you don't have to declare the variable type. I work alone so I can use any method I want. But, someday I may want to sell some of my code so I would like to keep my programming conventions current.
In VS 2010 which of these would be considered the best convention?
Dim srtFirstName = "Bob"
Dim strFirstName As String = "Bob"
Dim FirstName = "Bob"
Dim FirstName As String = "Bob"
Why are static variables set equal to 0 in the declaration when 0 would be the default value of the numeric variable anyway when it's first declared? Not including the "=0" in the static declaration seems to work with no problem.
View 2 RepliesSay that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)

This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?
