with statement

[Gas]

In VB, we have "with" statement, I am wondering is there a similar thing in
C#?

thx

Gas,

No, there is not (thank God). The closest you can get is assigning the
expression to a variable, and using that.

Hope this helps.

When you see a block of code that makes heavy use of a particular
variable - that is to say, a block of code where you wish you could be
using WITH - it should be a strong suggestion to you that that block of
code should be split out and made a method of that variable's class.
It takes a while to get the knack for this, but if you push it hard for
a few days, even where it doesn't seem to make sense (or where it
doesn't seem possible), I think you'll find you like the results.
Peace,
