What is [varname]?

[Guest]

I read thru MSDN documentation but could not find syntax explanation about
this special form of declaration.

Need more information on this.

The square brackets are documented here:

Neo,

Some people like to make terrible looking programs.

Dim [String] as String
[String] = "What a terrible use is this"

This can be done in more situations, it is seldom it useful, however you see
it often in samples which are direct recoded from C# to VBNet, where there
is a distict between upper and lower case, which is (luckily) not in VBNet.

I hope this gives an idea.
