Notes
Assignment operator v.s. equals operator
The assignment operator and the equals operator use the same symbol. It depends on the context which operator is used. The assignment operator is used when a line of code follows the syntax Identifier = Value;. In all other cases, the equals operator is used.
References equal
The References equal operator returns true if both identifiers hold the same reference (or: point to the same object).
For example:
Var i As String = "a"; Var j As String = "a"; WriteLine(i Is j); // false i = j; WriteLine(i Is j); // true
For types defined as Struct in the Object Explorer, this operator will never return true. When assigning one struct variable to another, the value is copied instead of the reference.
AddressOf
The AddressOf operator actually returns a CDelegate instance.
An example:
Var Delegate As CDelegate = AddressOf MyFunction;
Function MyFunction() {
WriteLine("Hello universe!");
}
Delegate.Invoke(); // Write "Hello universe";
