Languages Focus: Variables

A variable holds a value that you can use and change throughout your code so long as the variable is within scope. With variable declaration, you not only want to know the syntax of how you declare a variable but you also want to know where. Are you allowed to declare a variable inline? What are the available scopes: local vs. global. Can you assign a value at the same time you declare a variable?

VB.Net Variables

Variables are case sensitive but VS.Net will auto-fix your variable names to the defined case. You can declare variables in-line wherever you need them and declarative variable assignment is supported.

Syntax Example:

Dim FullName As String
Dim Age As Integer
Dim Weight As Double
FullName = "Mike Prestwood"
Age = 32
Weight = 154.4
'Declaritive variable assignment: 
Dim Married As String = "Y"
MsgBox(Married)
