IIF

Hello,

I was just curious if there is an IIF equivalent in the .NET framework? I see that IIF is supported, but was curious if they replaced it with anything, or if IIF will continue to be supported.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

I think this is rather a language feature than a framework feature (although maybe the framework has something for it as well).

In C#, you can use ?: operator, like this:

Code:

int a = 4;
int b = 0;
b = (a == 4) ? 10 : 12;
MessageBox.Show(b.ToString());

This will display 10 when a equals 4 (as in this example), or 12 in all other cases.

I don't think there is an equal alternative in Visual Basic that provides the same short cut, other that IIF and If / Then Else statements.

Cheers,

Imar

Hey,

Thanks, yeah I knew IIF was VB.NET specific, I was just curious if they changed it or not.

Thanks again,

Brian
