Hi Pippo:

Try:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Space(number)

Thanks for your help...

But in yours replies you use the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace

In my project i want to use a native dot net function and not a old vb
function

Is there an another way?

How about

"".padright(n)

where n is the number of spaces you need.

Pippo,

Endless those replies.

The Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace is a full part of the Net Framework

In that are the namespaces system.net And Microsoft.VisualBasic

Standard uses VisualBasic both.

If you want to use both in C#, C++ or J# than you have to set in those a
reference to that.

That is all.

As it's impossible to write VB.NET applications which don't reference
"Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll", there is absolutely no reason for not using the
functionality of this library. Developing in VB.NET without using
'Microsoft.VisualBasic' is developing with VB.NET without actually using it.

I noticed that there doesn't seem to exist a Microsoft.CSharp.dll. What's the
significance of that, if any?

 

[Alejandro Lapeyre]

It means that the capabilities added by the VisualBasic.dll can also be used
by c# users.
No need to define things twice.

When I am able will I show it as soon as possible in the General newsgroup
to Jon Skeet, that will give a long thread again.

I once translated a VBNet sample literally to C# in the CSharp newsgroup
using this reference, however there was not any comment

From the article:

I doubt that ;-))).

Hi Herfried and Cor,

I personally use VB.NET, although I tend to avoid Microsoft.VisualBasic as
much as possible and during all these years I have found only this gem in
the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace: the
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.Typename(object) function. It gives you
the actual type of a __ComObject when the debugger or the other .NET
Framework functions don´t give you a clue...

But, can the VB.NET developers take advantage of all of the features available
in C#?

C# will support some additional type keywords and operators for dealing with
nullable types:

(I'm not trying to be argumentative here. I want to understand the
implications of the differences between the two.)

 

[Cor Ligthert]

Alex,

No, there are differences and probably those will stay because it are
different development teams.

For the VBNet development team it is of couse easier to get the same things
as in C# than in the opposite posistion.

C# is ECMA.

Just my thought,

Cor

C# is standardized by ECMA, but Microsoft decides its roadmap.
