No as you would of written it like this VB.NET Version
New image With
{
.height = height
}C# Version, in the C# version the With Keyword is ommited
new image { height = this.height }
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians. Help end the violence EAT BACON
So now instead of with I need this. And I would have to write this over and over and over

No it wouldn't.

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

"with" isn't particularly unique or interesting. There's a lot of functionality in a few lines. But you can stack up languages like cordwood that have lambdas, currying and/or templating features that would reduce the footprint of that code far more. It's awesome to be excited about a language. Lord knows I've spent most of the last 40 years that way. But do yourself a favor, take this post and put it in a calendar item marked 5 years from now and come back and look at it then. Visual Basic has come a long way since the VB3 days. But it's a very very long way away from winning awards for elegance.
The unique part about the with; is that it is simple - easy to learn, little if no problems to overcome just by using the structure.
-
It's just not that elegant to have two separate try/catch blocks that completely hide the error and never handle it. And everything you have there can be done in C# as well.
the try catches were not suppose to be illustrated as a bonus, and a laziness on my part, but intentional with how my code works

No, posting links to unrelated sites or commercial products is spam. Telling a user that you've already replied to their comments in another post on the same site is not. Falsely accusing other members of posting spam, however, would count as abuse. :suss:

In my defense I got this exact post 3 times without validating you only posted it once

VB New image with {.height = height} C# New image {height = height} second one fails

No, it doesn't. https://dotnetfiddle.net/J0N7Mm[^]
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
int height = 100;
var image = new Image { height = height };
Console.WriteLine("The image's height is {0}.", image.height);
}
}public class Image
{
public int height { get; set; }
}Output:
The image's height is 100.

What problem? People with less skill are more focused on getting the job done, then writing cool useless code.
The problem is that "people with less skill" assume that a "ooh shiny" language feature is cool at all.

That's what makes C# better than VB. :-D Try writing an event that returns a value in VB. :cool:

Actually it just got a lot more credit... Swift is Apple's version of VB. :-D

Swift looks like C# almost exactly

Yes. And I really don't like that Extension Methods require the
usingdirective. Very powerful are aliases though. Recently I used an alias to resolve a namespace conflict, rather than havegloball::scattered throughout some code:namespace PIEBALD.Data.MySql
{
using MySqlClient=global::MySql.Data.MySqlClient ;public sealed class DatabaseInfo : PIEBALD.Data.DatabaseInfo<MySqlClient.MySqlDbType>

Thank God I don't need SQL anymore. I use Unidex which I wrote in Visual basic ;)

Of course my comment is tongue-in-cheek, but you must not have looked at Swift hard enough yet.
