The great Right to Left assignment debate :-)

There's a conversation occuring on serveral other blogs about the validity of statements that assign to multiple variables in a right to left manner.  Methinks that a few people are confusing C# with VB :-) - oh well, at least I get to show off the amazing powers of the MarkItUp component again ;)  - http://www.markitup.com/Client/MarkItUpNew.asp

This is just one of the cool things that I wish VB  had!  <shrug /> I suppose no language is perfect given that they didn't allow for fall-through in switch statements for C#!
