What does this mean ==> ?", ",""

MLH
If I run ?", ",""
in the immediate window,
I get a comma followed by 13 spaces.
It is difficult for me to understand this.

Have you made sure the HELP file is working? Have you ever actually
opened it?
commas put data in the debug window into columns.

Some people learn by experimentation ... some don't. I guess you fit
into the latter category.

Try this
?"a";"b"

You'll get
ab

Try this
?"a","b"

You'll get
a b

The semi-colon (;) separator means put the results straight after each
other the comma (,) separator means put a tab between them (only of course
it's not a tab it's x number of spaces.

A colon (:) is a line separator in the debug window as well as in code so
?"a";"b":debug. Print "c";"d"

returns
ab
cd

And
?"a","b":debug. Print "c","d"

returns
a b
c d

and you can do stuff like
x = "a": debug.Print x

Which returns
a

To return to your post
?", ",""

Means print a literal comma (",") and then a tab (,) and then an empty
string ("").

Many thanks, Terry. It really was
quite confusing to me. Now I have it.

I've seen people here write that C++ doesn't support modules. What does that mean? 'Module' is a very nebulous term in my book.

I do xml / xslt transformation using asp.net but I found any value (w/xml format) in xml node html-encoded to &lt and &gt format if it's > or < tag.

I've read the page life cycle thing in msdn, still, i'm getting a bit confused of thinking how all the things are going under the hood... I know that when page loading, that the controls' properties is populated and when page unloading, the resources are cleared. What I want to know is what's happening behind it, that is, from the perspective of the asp.net implementor.....I'm not sure whether i've stated clearly, hope you get it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
