Nested using statements in VB.Net

Question

As Eric Gunnerson shows in this blog post, in C# you can nest using statements as:

using (StreamWriter w1 = File.CreateText("W1"))
using (StreamWriter w2 = File.CreateText("W2"))
{
    // code here
}

Is there a similar way to do it in VB.Net? I want to avoid too many indentation levels.

Answer 1

Unfortunately it seems that you have to nest the Using in VB...

Well, you can do:

    ' Code goes here. '
End Using
