Question

Does VB.NET 2010 support arrays of anonymous objects?

Answer 1

+6 A:

Yes it does. You can write one like this:

Dim values = {New With {.First = "Matt"}, New With {.First = "Mallory"}}

Updated: I removed the not needed () after values as pointed out by Ahmad Mageed

Thanks for your response. I probably was unclear in my original question. `Dim values()` is different from C#'s `new []`, right?

@Matthew you can use `Dim values` without the `()`.

Ahmad Mageed 2010-09-26 19:37:06

@Slack C#'s `new[]` would be equivalent to the first and last curly braces that indicate an array of items in VB.NET. VB.NET's `Dim values` would be `var values` in C#.

Thanks guys. I get it now. C#'s `new []` is just handled by `{ }` in VB.NET. Was this the case prior to VB.NET 2010?
