Does VB6 short circuit conditional tests? That is to say, can I be sure a statement like...
If index <= array_size And array(index) > something Then
will never burst the array, whatever the value of index might happen to be?

A:
No, VB6's And and Or don't short-circuit (which is the reason why the short-circuit versions are called AndAlso and OrElse in VB.net — backward compatibility).

I had no idea VB.NET supported this! Thanks so much for this enlightening answer. You have saved me many nested `if` statements.

Thank you, KennyTM. You have doubtless saved me many exploding arrays.

Select Case is a short circuit method if you can use it for your purpose.
