Anonymous array creation possible in VB.NET?

[Anders Thomsen]

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[]{","});

In VB, do I really have to do it this way?
Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim seperator() As Char = {CType(",", Char)}
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(seperator)

Hi,

Not really sure what u r asking.. but.. in VB y not code as follows?

Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(CChar(","))

not sure how this is all that different from the C# version? appart from the
syntax obv.

Rigga.

Hi Anders,

string s = "Blah blah, Aloha!";
string[] sArr = s.Split(new String[]{","});

In VB, do I really have to do it this way?
Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim seperator() As Char = {CType(",", Char)}
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(seperator)

Most people do it like this,
Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(",")

Maybe this is better, but I did never saw it done in this newsgroup and I
did not look to the intermidiate code for this.
Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(","c)

I hope this helps?

Yes:

Anders,
In addition to the others comments (on how to actually create an "anonymous"
array) :

In C# you can do this:

string s = "Blah blah, Aloha!";
string[] sArr = s.Split(',');
In VB, you can also do this: Dim s As String = "Blah blah, Aloha!"
Dim sArr() As String = s.Split(","c)
Seeing as String.Split uses a ParamArray parameter, the compiler will
dynamically create an "anonymous" array for you, there is no real need to
explicitly create one (although one is supported if you already have one, or
you need to use String.ToCharArray).

Hope this helps
Jay
