Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message)?

Question about

Dim data As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message)
Would it be the same to write:

Dim data() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(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.

Dim ch() As Char = "ufssz/cvsotAhsfbuTpmvujpotXjui/OFU".ToCharArray()
For i As Int32 = 0 To ch.Length - 1
ch(i) = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt16(ch(i)) - 1)

Process.Start("mailto:" & New String(ch))
