c#-to-vb.net

I'm not entirely sure what to call what C# does, so I haven't had any luck searching for the VB.Net equivalent syntax (if it exists, which I suspect it probably doesn't). In c#, you can do this: public void DoSomething() { new MyHelper().DoIt(); // works just fine } But as far as I can tell, in VB.Net, you must assign the helper object to a local variable or you just get a syntax error: Public Sub DoSomething() New MyHelper().DoIt() ' won't compile End Sub Just one of those curiosity things I run into from day to day working on mixed language projects - often there is a VB.Net equivalent which

We have an interface, which can be grossly simplified as: public interface IPersistable<T> { T Id { get; } } Most places that implement the interface want to have it so that there is a protected or private set on that property, i.e, in C#: public class Foo : IPersistable<int> { public int Id { get; protected set; } } However, I can't get any sample VB.Net code to compile that follows the same pattern, whilst still implementing the interface, so: Public Class Foo Implements IPersistable(Of Integer) Public Property Id() As Integer Implements IPersistable(Of Integer).Id Get Throw New

I've stumbled upon an issue with CInt and converting a double to an integer. The issue is the following: CInt(10.5) 'Result is 10 CInt(10.51) 'Result it 11, but I expected 10... I got used to C# style conversion where (int) 10.51 is 10. As pointed out in the question about Integer.Parse vs CInt , the result is just rounded in some fashion. However, all I need is to get only integer part and throw away the fractional one. How can I achieve such type of conversion in VB.NET? After some research I see that I can use the Fix() function to do the trick, but is it the best choice? You may use Int or

In c# I can initialize a List at creation time like var list = new List<String>() {"string1", "string2"}; is there a similar thing in VB.Net? Currently I can do it like Dim list As New List(Of String) list.Add("string1") list.Add("string2") list.Add("string3") but I want to avoid boring .Add lines VB10 supports collection initializers . I believe your example would be: Dim list As New List(Of String) From { "string1", "string2", "string3" } MSDN has more information . You can also use AddRange if you don't want to put all of your items on a single line. Dim list As New List(Of String) From {

Is there a way to perform this in VB.NET like in the C-Style languages: struct Thickness { double _Left; double _Right; double _Top; double _Bottom; public Thickness(double uniformLength) { this._Left = this._Right = this._Top = this._Bottom = uniformLength; } } Expanding on Mark's correct answer This type of assignment style is not possible in VB.Net. The C# version of the code works because in C# assignment is an expression which produces a value. This is why it can be chained in this manner. In VB.Net assignment is a statement and not an expression. It produces no value and cannot be

Using VB.net & WPF I've converted code available at Overlaying Controls in WPF with Adorners from C# to VB.Net Original C# Code /// <summary> /// Overlays a control with the specified content /// </summary> /// <typeparam name="TOverlay">The type of content to create the overlay from</typeparam> public class OverlayAdorner<TOverlay> : Adorner, IDisposable where TOverlay : UIElement, new() { private UIElement _adorningElement; private AdornerLayer _layer; /// <summary> /// Overlay the specified element /// </summary> /// <param name="elementToAdorn">The element to overlay</param> /// <returns><

I'm trying to convert the C# code from this webpage to VB. Everything seems to have converted pretty much fine using an online converter tool, but then I reach the following line: fadeOutAnimation.Completed += (sender, args) => OnFadeOutAnimationCompleted(d, hostGrid, grid); The fadeOutAnimation.Completed event produces an event with the signature (sender, args), and d, hostGrid and grid are variables local to the function containing this mysterious event handler assignment. I think I can see that the instruction on this C# line is telling the code to execute the OnFadeOutAnimationCompleted

I'm a C# programmer constrained to write VB.NET code. While exploring NHibernate further for my current client, I encountered FluentNHibernate, which I find real attractive. But now, I wonder how to "translate" this C# code for component mapping into VB.NET code: Component(x => x.Address, m => { m.Map(x => x.Number); m.Map(x => x.Street); m.Map(x => x.PostCode); }); I know from here: Component(Of Client)(Function(c) c.Address, ...) what I miss is how to continue with the brackets in VB.NET, since there's no Begin End keywords or so. EDIT 1: Following Mr. JaredPar instructions, I figured that
