For Each VB syntax

[bri189a]

In C# you can:

 

foreach(string s in MyStrings)

Console.WriteLine(s);

 

Note that s is declared on the spot, the closes I've been able to find for VB is the following:

 

Dim s As String

For Each s In MyStrings

Console.WriteLine(s)

Next s

 

I much rather have:

ForEach s as String In MyStrings

Console.WriteLine(s)

Next s

 

because all the extra Dim lines in the middle of a function just to do a loop looks, feels, and smells sloppy, but putting them at the top of the function just looks messy. There has to be away to declare and use a variable in a loop in VB. I've noticed the same issue with a regular for loop.

For Each s As String In MyStrings
   Console.WriteLine(s)
Next s

as long as you are using vs 2003 or later

That's why it wouldn't work then...I have VB 2002. Will that work for iteration loop?

 

  For i As Integer = 1 To 10
 Console.WriteLine(i)
 Next i
  

(also how come my carriage returns aren't showing up in this code block?)

Thanks!

That will work as well!

Did you cut and paste that from VS? If so are you using CRLF or just a CR as a line terminator?

Actually I just typed it in.
