Does VB.NET compiler tell about not used variables?

[Marty]

Hi,

I would like to know if the VB.NET compiler could tell about not used
variable? If yes, How do I set it?

Or at least display a warning like in c++.

Thanks you

Marty

I think only Whidbey has that feature.

Not yet, but there will be a warning in VB 2005 ("Whidbey").

a tool like http://www.mztools.com/v4/mztools4.htm is giving this feature.

Hi Marty,

In VB.net we can not get any alert for thosed variabls declared but not
used.

If you used C#, you can get alert of this type.

Better used ctr+F and search this variable name where you used it. Or
if the page is too long, just comment the declaration line , so red
lines can come in the code.

also, search for fxcop on gotdotnet, very handy. it'll find "dead code"
(methods/vars not accessed/used) and show you all kinds of things that you
shouldn't be doing in your code ;o).

cheers.
