Compiling same ILM matters

something that YOU don't know how to do in VB.NET.

namespace EventTest
{
  public class EventTest
  {
    public delegate int F() ;
    public event F E ;
    private void RaiseE() { E() ; }
  }
}

Case insensitivity made sense when we used punch cards, teletypes, or early terminals that didn't support lowercase anyway. Now it only leads to confusion and increased compile times.

Does that disable the ability to leave off the parentheses on method calls?

PIEBALDconsult wrote:

Consider these two simple programs that execute the exact same statement. Do they produce the same IL? Do they behave the same?

Namespace EnumTestCS
	Public NotInheritable Class EnumTestCS
		Public Shared Sub Main()
			System.Console.WriteLine(System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.None)
		End Sub
	End Class
End Namespace

While I may be the only person in the world who needs to do this, show me how it can be done in VB.net .

Namespace EventTest
	Public Class EventTest
		Public Delegate Function F() As Integer
		Public Event E As F
		Private Sub RaiseE()
			RaiseEvent E()
		End Sub
	End Class
End Namespace
