In what context?

VBA uses IIF as a conditional operator.

as in

strOrderSummary &= iif(radDlivery.checked, "Delivery", "Take out")

iif(expression,true result, false result)

myvar = iif(1 > 2, "yes", "no")

myvar will equal "no"

Inline if?

Yep, same as it was back in Visual Basic.

Note, in C# it is the ?: operator. It's kind of wierd.

String desc;

desc = (5 > 7) ? "greater" : "less";
MessageBox.Show("5 is " + desc + " than 7");

It works like this:

It's kind of wierd.

It has the same syntax as C/C++, Java etc. How is it weird?

the syntax can be confusing if you've never seen it before. I think it's the only tertiary operator there is, in C# at least.
