about 'New'

[Guest learn]

Hi,

 

Can you tell me when we deed to use 'New'

Dim New ... or just Dim?

I think when you use New when Dimming an object it actually creates an instance of that object all in one line, as opposed to VB6 when you would two lines:

 

Dim Object as Object

Set Object as new Object

'One line' can also be used in VB6, for example:

 

Dim c As New Collection

c.Add ("1234")

Print c(1)

Yes it can, but not for objects. It depends on whether you are declaring variables objects. Our company has moved over to C# now as it's .Net language of choice. I must spend sometime to check out VB.Net too! :)

You Set object = New object

 

Set object As New object is a syntax error

Except there is no Set keyword in VB.NET.

Then it's two errors in one! ;)
