Code Blocks (VB Classic and C++/CLI Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

VB Classic versus C++/CLI: A side by side comparison between VB Classic and C++/CLI.

Language Basics

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Code Blocks

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

The rules for code blocks within a language dictate where you can declare variables, how you "bracket" code, etc.

VB Classic: End Xxx

VB Classic code blocks are surrounded by statement ending keywords that all use End such as End Sub, End If, and WEnd.

Syntax Example:

Sub x

End Sub

If x Then

End If

While x

WEnd

C++/CLI: { }

Same as standard C++. For C++, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, I prefer to put the first { at the end of the first line of the code block as in the example above because I see more C++ formatted that way.

Syntax Example:

class Cyborg {
public: System::Void IntroduceYourself() {
    MessageBox::Show("Hi");
  }
};
