Very simple concept but....

[Chris Kennedy]

I always get a little confused with this. Quite often I end up writing code
with two lines.
Dim strTest as string
strTest = "test"

How do I write as one line and what is the theory behind instantiating
objects such as ado.net objects like this. Quite often I see very condensed
code, which accomplishes in one line what takes me several.

Dim strTest As String = "test"

It's really a matter of preference. Accomplishes the same thing; some
believe you should never initialize your variables in the same line (what
you're asking). It makes it easier to delineate defining a variable vs.
where it's initialized, especially when you have alot of variables, or if
the initialization is lengthy (line length gets a little long); often
times people will have a block of code after the list of declarations,
where they they initialize all the variables.

Me, I've done both. No difference either way....
