Too funny. I actually thought this was going to be a serious thing, so I thought "I will go back and follow that link later, I am sure the article Aaron is linking to is more than I want to read right now."



Well, almost a week later I follow the link and what a pleasant surprise!



As stated by the article, the "true solution," and I would agree completely, would be to have this construct:



If ThisItem Is Something Then



End If



Oh, that would rock. VB would be so much fun to write code in if they did this, as well as added a bunch of other changes. I suppose if someone was really bored they could extend the VB.NET compiler to allow for this . . . Hmm . . .
