C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

I need to convert some C# ?Conditionals over to vb.net (most likely in
vb.net using If..Then statements), but the C#2VBNETconverter by
KamalPatel isn't converting them:

string PurchaseType = (Convert.ToString(drwData["DailyItem"]) ==
"True") ? "ID" : "PID";

XmlNodeList Selections = xdcData.GetElementsByTagName((X == 0) ?
"Highlight" : "Selection");

TIA

Re: C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

Take a look at other converters. Free SharpDevelop from
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ can do this. There is also
online version at
http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/uti...sharptovb.aspx.
It seems it handles these statements correctly.

It has been a very long time since I've done any VB programming so
please check my work. But that should convert to something like this.

dim PurchaseType As String
dim Selections As XmlNodeList

If drwData["DailyItem"].ToString() = "True" Then
PurchaseType = "ID"
Else
PurchaseType = "PID"
End If



If X = 0 Then
Selections = xdcData.GetElementsByTagName("Highlight")
Else
Selections = xdcData.GetElementsByTagName("Selection")
End If

Hope that helps,

I would recommend Sean's solution as well.

if you really want to single-line it, you can always use the iif function:

Re: C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

Hi,

VB has similar function called IIF

<From MSDN>
Public Function IIf( _
ByVal Expression As Boolean, _
ByVal TruePart As Object, _
ByVal FalsePart As Object _
)

Keep in mind that this is a FUNCTION as oposed to C# ?:, which is operator.
What does it mean? This means that TruePart and FalsePart are passed as
parameter to the function and if they are emthods' return values sides are
going to be executed regardless of the value of the Expression. This might
lead to hard-to-discover semantic errors if calculations of the true-part
and/or false-part have side effects.

ACK, but note that all parameters are evaluated in the 'IIf' function.

RE: C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

(You get what you pay for with free converters)

Our Instant VB demo edition gives:

Dim PurchaseType As String
If (Convert.ToString(drwData("DailyItem")) = "True") Then
PurchaseType = "ID"
Else
PurchaseType = "PID"
End If

Dim Selections As XmlNodeList
If (X = 0) Then
Selections = xdcData.GetElementsByTagName("Highlight")
Else
Selections = xdcData.GetElementsByTagName("Selection")
End If

Re: C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

Note that replacing "?" with IIf (which is what the free converters do) is
not correct.
The correct conversion is if/else.

Re: C# to VB.net conversion for "?" conditionals
 

Karl,
For VS 2005 code I would recommend my generic IIf over the VB.IIf as the
generic IIf is type safe.

http://www.tsbradley.net/Cookbook/Ge...enericIIf.aspx

As Herfried points out, my generic IIf & VB.IIf are both functions all
parameters are evaluated, meaning there may be subtle side effects, if you
are simply passing constants for the truePart & falsePart parameters, then
the fact IIf is a function wouldn't matter... If the parameters are function
calls then this may matter...

Why to obfuscate it to prevent maintenance?

I go for the solution from Sean
