is this ok with arrays

[Guest]

hey all,

i have the following dim statement:

Dim myArray() As Boolean = {enum.value1 = True, enum.value2 = True,
enum.value3 = True, enum.value4 = True, enum.value5 = True}

instead of

dim myArray() as boolean={true,true,true,true,true}

or is there a better way for readability?

thanks,
rodchar

Rodchanr,

Dim myArray() As Boolean = {enum.value1 = True, enum.value2 = True,
enum.value3 = True, enum.value4 = True, enum.value5 = True}

instead of

dim myArray() as boolean={true,true,true,true,true}

Did you use Option Strict On.

In my idea are the however not the same and gives the above

false,false,false,false,false.

Therefore what do you want to do and what do you want to express for
readability?

Both samples are not semantically equivalent. The first line will compare
enumeration values with 'True', which doesn't necessarily lead to the value
'True' written to the array.
