Hello.
I have a quick and "simple" question that will probably boil down to opinion
more than anything else. I need a FieldType property for a class I am
writing. As such an Enum would be the perfect solution for this property. In
C# I can write
Public Enum FieldType
Integer = 0
Float
Double
String
Date
ObjectId
End Enum
And everything works like a charm. I have been requested to rewrite this in
VB.NET. However, VB.NET is not case sensitive so that structure does not
work because Interger, Double, String and Date are reserved types regardless
of case. Is there a defined recommended alternative for this? Prefix or
Suffix? What do you think about?
Public Enum FieldType
enumInteger = 0
enumFloat
enumDouble
enumString
enumDate
enumObjectId
End Enum
or
Public Enum FieldType
_Integer = 0
_Float
_Double
_String
_Date
_ObjectId
End Enum

Put the keywords between square brackets to escape them:
\\\
Public Enum FieldType
[Integer] = 0
Float
[Double]
...
End Enum

You can use parenthesis and it will work:
Public Enum FieldType
[Integer] = 0
[Float]
....
