Equivalant in VB

[bri189a]

It doesn't appear you can do |= or &= is VB...am I going to have to:

 

MyFlags = MyFlags Or Flags.Type5

 

to do the equivenlat of:

 

MyFlags |= Flags.Type5

 

And there's no ++ or -- either? They have += and -+ and *= and /= but not increment or decrement.... and how am I suppose to do operator overloading? It's so much nicer to have:

 

result = Vertex4 * Vertex5

 

I'm going to have to go back to:

 

result = Vertex4.Multiply(Vertex5)? - or -

result = Vertex.Multiply(Vertex4, Vertex5)

 

:(

You just have to live with the facts :), or wait and see if they will be added in the next version.

You could get get something equivalent to:

MyFlags |= Flags.Type5

As in:

MyFlags += Flags.Type5

But only if you turned off Option Strict and we know you don't want to do that :).

Operator overloading is in the next version of VB. IIRC they are not introducing the ++ or -- operators though - however this is worth a glance.
