I have 2 problems concerning the new array initializers and nullable types:
Then I use array initializers VB says that a type is espected - so type inference doesn't work here?
Second, the nullable types aren't implemented yet? Or why I can't write e.g.:
Hi Ralf,
Type inference for arrays works, the syntax is Dim x = New Integer() {1, 2, 3}.
Nullable types will be in Beta2.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
Hello Jonathan,
thanks for your help, it works :-) I have something expacted like Dim arr = new() {1,2,3} similar to the C# version var arr = new[] {1,2,3}; I use both languages but I prefer VB, because it is more productive and in this case I would prefer a C# like syntax without typing the type - I think this would be productive but the VB-Syntax is somehow neat.
Can you give any information or blog entries what we can expect from Beta2?
Thanks.
If you want to keep up with what's coming out for VB, watch the VB blogs at http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/. Also Paul Vick's http://www.panopticoncentral.net/ is a good source. I also try to keep up with what's coming up on my blog.
