FxCop seems to hate this:
Public Class Foo
Dim mPrivate count As Integer = 0
..
..
..
End Class
Why? It says that the code is inefficient and not needed because the runtime
will do it for me.
Well heck, I want to be SURE it will be done, not rely on some runtime to do
it.
Sheesh.

It does not depend on the runtime. The language specification states
that also.

So are you saying you don't trust the runtime to comply to its
specifications with respect to initialization?
Personally, I wouldn't use a runtime I didn't trust that far. Why are
you prepared to trust it in matters such as garbage collection if you
don't trust it to obey the specs in terms of initialization?

If FxCop and the runtime disagreed, I'd trust the runtime. In this
case, FxCop is telling you *to* trust the runtime.

Indeed :)
FxCop is really meant to give guidance rather than absolute rules - but
it's always worth at least seeing what it says...

Ok, ok.. maybe this is just me showing my age.
My whole life (while programming) I have always gotten into the habit of
clearly initiaializting my vars when they are created.
I guess this just threw me for a loop.

And that's very valuable in a situation where the value is otherwise
*not* guaranteed. When a guarantee has been made though, it's fine to
use it :)
It's a similar situation to long-time C programmers still writing:
if (5==x)
in C#, despite that being less readable than
if (x==5)
On C, there's a benefit to the former version - it prevents an
accidental assignment. In C#, there's no benefit, and there's the
readability downside.

Does anyone happen to have a debug script that will display the variable

I am wondering if anyone has any insights on the performance benefit (or
detriment) of declaring local variables instead of referencing members.
Is allocating memory for a new variable more efficient than repeatedly
referencing the member in a loop?
Maybe using a string isn't the best example, but hopefully you get the
idea!

Beginner/Intermediate level question. I understand that returning
ptr to local stack vars is bad.
Is returning foo_p_B from fnB() reliable all the time, so that using
foo_p_A does not break?
Thanks

I see that static is more restricted in C# than in C++. It appears
usable only on classes and methods, and data members, but cannot be
created within a method itself. Surely this is possible in C# in some
way? Or maybe no, because it is similar to a global variable (with its
scope restricted) which C# is dead against?
