End of Statement (VB.Net and ASP Classic Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

VB.Net versus ASP Classic: A side by side comparison between VB.Net and ASP Classic.

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.

End of Statement

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

In coding languages, common End of statement specifiers include a semicolon and return (others exist too). Also of concern when studying a language is can you put two statements on a single code line and can you break a single statement into two or more code lines.

VB.Net: Return

A return marks the end of a statement and you cannot combine statements on a single line of code. You can break a single statement into two or more code lines by using a space and underscore " _".

Syntax Example: 2 certification questions.

Console.WriteLine("Hello1")
Console.WriteLine("Hello2")
Console.WriteLine("Hello3")
 
'The following commented code 
'on a single line does not work...
'Console.WriteLine("Hello4")  Console.WriteLine("Hello5")
 
'Two or more lines works too with a space+underscore:
Console.WriteLine _
 "Hello6";

ASP Classic: Return

A return marks the end of a statement and you cannot combine statements on a single line of code. You can break a single statement into two or more code lines by using a space and underscore " _".

Syntax Example:

Response.Write("Hello1")
Response.Write("Hello2")
Response.Write("Hello3")
 
'The following commented code on a single line does not work...
' Response.Write("Hello4")  Response.Write("Hello5")
 
'Two or more lines works too with a space+underscore:
Response.Write _
  ("Hello6")
