VB.Net 2 specs

Thanks to Robert Hurlbut  to mention the C# 2.0 specifications document.

But what's about VB ? By the way do we need to say VB.Net 2.0 ?

I don't rememeber reading anything official from MS about the naming conventions.

  • Good question. Generics will also be part of VB.Net 2.0, as they are implemented in the CLR (low-level) and according to Don Box when he was here a couple of months ago. But, how the Generics implementation will work in VB.Net really hasn't been covered. Someone will probably talk about it at PDC, I imagine.

  • I'm not a VB.NET programmer but have to use it sometimes. What I want to know is how they're going to formulate the constructed types in VB.NET, because most characters are used for other constructs as well (like <>, (), []..). Perhaps they go for another ambiguous bracket pair, like () is both array indexer and method parameter call section enclosure bracket pair.

  • Generics in VB will not be much different then in C#, except for the keywording.



    From what I read:



    C#: class foobar<T>

    VB: Class foobar(of T)



    But it's early and stuff like that could change.
