Question about

Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII.Get Bytes(message)
Would it be the same to write:

Dim data() As Byte = System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII.Get Bytes(message) ?

[One Handed Man \( OHM - Terry Burns \)]

[Byte] is only used if you have created a Type Byte and want to discriminate
between the Type Byte and your own [Byte]. If you do not have a home grown
Type of that name, dont use it.

The syntax for declaring and array in the help file AFAIK, does not show the
Dim data As Type() but favours the first declaration Dim data() As Type.
However, they do both compile and the resultant types are the same.
