Visual Basic needs more credit

I think that Visual Basic should be shown off for its beauty and elegance. Here is a sample of what it can do - that no other language can do:
Private Sub AlbumListPopulate()
Try
AlbumsList.ItemsSource = New List(Of Image)For Each AlbumName In Pictures.Albums Try AlbumsList.ItemsSource.Add \_ ( New Image With { .Height = 150, .Width = 150, .Source = RotateStream \_ ( Pictures.Album(AlbumName).Picture, Pictures.Album(AlbumName).Angle ) } ) Catch End Try Next Catch End TryEnd Sub

What about that can't be done in C#? :confused:
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Pretty bold statement, given it's followed by a code block that could easily be converted to C#. ;P

I suspect he's talking about the With block. Of course, as the With statement was introduced to fix a defect in VB in the first place...

With operator
Just because you don't need the extra keyword doesn't mean that C# can't do it:
new Image
{
Height = 150,
Width = 150,
Source = RotateStream
(
Pictures.Album[AlbumName].Picture,
Pictures.Album[AlbumName].Angle
)
}

no with operator in C#
See my answer to your other post - you don't need the
Withoperator in C# for object or collection initializers.

its not a with block, "new image with"
-
no with operator in C#
As well there shouldn't be. C# doesn't need it.

its not a with block, "new image with"
and you can do the same in C# without the need for "with" keyword

It's an object initializer, which is fully supported in C#, without needing an extra keyword. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384062.aspx[^]

So, the same as Auto-initialisation in C# then.
new Image{ Height = 150, Width= 150 }

no with operator in C#
I have to say, you walked right into that one.

That code doesn't fail

No better way to learn. I was told that C# and visual basic are the same language but I can find things in Visual Basic that are not in C# and things in C# that are not in Visual Basic

No, it doesn't need more credit; and your example sums up nicely why VB got that reputation :) Yes, you can swallow exceptions in other languages too, but it doesn't happen as often there as it does in VB.
