What code would I use for displaying a message box in VB.NET

Msgbox "Msgbox"

or

Messagebox.Show "Messagebox.Show"

 

[Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]]

Msgbox "Msgbox"

or

Messagebox.Show "Messagebox.Show"

I would use "(" and ")".

;-)

 

[Armin Zingler]

I would use "(" and ")".

They appear automatically.

Herfried,

I would use "(" and ")".

Better is "AndAlso"

There has been much already said about whether to use old VB 6.0 functions
like MsgBox() or the new .NET classes like MessageBox.Show.

My opinion is to stay away from the older VB 6.0 ways and adopt the newer
(OO) .NET ways. Yes, either will work, but MsgBox() is just going to put in
a call to the shared show method of the MessageBox class, so why not skip an
extra step and go straight into the MessageBox class. There are several
other situations like this in VB.NET.

For example, many of the "old" string functions are now methods of the
string class and many "old" numeric functions are now methods of the number
type classes. The same is also true for "old" date/time functions now being
methods of the date/time classes.

Somebody told me that some people are out there who don't use an IDE to
develop their applications.

I know. But Msgbox is shorter.

Herfried,

You want a nice IDE you do. Your "is" would have been nicely
converted to its correct form "Is" <g>

Maybe you can add a hint in your signature?

I could, but I'm now saving my "by call traffic" bytes. ;-)

Ok Armin, I can't argue with that! ;-)
