I am reading about new features in Visual Studio 9.0 (Orcas) (while I am playing with it :) ) and I found there is a new feature in Visual Basic called Relaxed Delegates.
What this means!? For instance you can convert methods to delegate even when methods doesn;t have all parameters (if not used)
This is the sample from Amada Silver:
Another great feature that you’ll
notice in Beta1 is Relaxed Delegates. In short, relaxed delegates
are a way to extend VB’s implicit conversions to delegate types. With relaxed
delegates, you can write the following code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal
sender As Object,
ByVal e As
EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click,
Button1.MouseClick
MsgBox("Do
Something")
End Sub
You can even omit *all* of the event
arguments if your method body doesn’t need them. This improves readability
without compromising type safety:
Option Strict On
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click() Handles
Button1.Click, Button1.MouseClick
MsgBox("Do
Something")
End Sub
End Class
A bit unfair to C# but still - this is Visual Basic :)
