This does what you'd expect ...
string[] foo = { "bar", "baz", "quux" };
.... so why is this a syntax error?
private string[] foo()
{
return { "bar", "baz", "quux" };
}
I know that it works with 'new string[]' inserted, but I don't understand
why assignment and 'return' disagree on what is a valid rvalue.

It's not a normal expression - it's an array initializer, which may
only be specified in field declarations, local variable declarations
and array creation expressions.
I believe this is because all of those three know exactly what type
they should be constructing beforehand, whereas for general expressions
the type of the expression is not dependent on context.
I dare say it would have been possible to include this "exception" in
other places (such as return statements), but I suspect it would have
made the specification messier. Of course, they're not really *needed*
anywhere...

I thought about this problem over the weekend, after long hours of
hacking some metaclasses to allow me to express some real case data
structures as Python classes. I think that this is something with
potential to be useful, but I would like to hear more opinions first.
If this is deemed to be useful, I *may* try to write a PEP for it.
This is not a promise or even a proposal, at this point.
Broadly generalizing, classes in Python have...

I believe I ran into an interesting way to create memory leaks in C# 2.0
using anymous delegates. Here is a sample of the code in question.
private void Handle_Event(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.Interval = 10000;
NotifyForm notifyForm = new notifyForm();
notifyForm.Show();
timer.Tick += delegate(object timerSender, EventArgs tArgs)

Hi,
Is it possible on VB.NET to create anonymous arrays, e.g. passing
arrays directly as a method-parameter instead of reference it from a
variable.
In C#, I can do this:
string s = "Blah blah, Aloha!";
string sArr = s.Split(new String{","});

Hi,
I need to initialize my class level dictionary (in .Net 2.0). I wanted to
make it inline and employ anonymous methods as I do not use this code for
anything else. Something similar to the following:
private static Dictionary<string, field_fields = delegate()
{
Dictionary<string, fieldresult = new Dictionary<string, field>();
result.Add("Application", new field("Application", "AppName"));

I have just gotten up to speed on what anonymous methods are (syntax,
capabilities, etc), and how they can be used with /called via delegates.
What I am wondering is...
1. Are they only/mostly syntactic sugar (important as that can be)?
2. Are anonymous methods *required* anywhere? That is, are anonymous methods
the only way to accomplish certain tasks in
..NET programming?

Briefly, an anonymous method is exactly that: a method without a name.
When you use the "delegate" keyword to declare an anonymous method, all
you're doing is writing a method the same as you would anywhere else,
except that it doesn't have a name, and so you have to use it right away
rather than being able to refer to it elsewhere. (And I mean that only in

I am reading the book "C++ Annotations", and here is a quote from the
book:
Namespaces can be defined without a name. Such a namespace is
anonymous and it restricts the
visibility of the defined entities to the source file in which the
anonymous namespace is defined.
Entities defined in the anonymous namespace are comparable to C’s
static functions and variables.
In C++ the static keyword can still be used, but its use is more

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
