Syntax of VB.

NET Syntax of Visual C#

► VB.NET is not case sensitive
Variables
☺ Declaration of a Variable
 Syntax:
DIM (Variable Name) AS Datatype
*DIM is keyword; however we can use PUBLIC and
PRIVATE keyword also.
► Visual C#.NET is a case sensitive.
► Every statement end with semicolon
called statement terminator.
Variables
☺ Declaration of a Variable
 Syntax:
DataType variable_name;

☺ Initialization of a Variable ☺ Initialization of a Variable

 Design time Initialization  Design time Initialization
DIM variablename AS datatype = value Datatype variable_name = value;
For example For example
DIM abc AS string = “hello” string country = “Pakistan”;
 Run Time Initialization  Run Time Initialization
DataType variable_name;
DIM variable_name AS datatype Vaiable_name=value;
Variablename = value/location For example
For example Int mynumber;
DIM abc As String mynumber=5;
Abc = textbox.text
