Is "Partial Methods" the final name for this feature? When I heard the name I could not imagine how it worked, but I had a completely different view on it. Consider the name "Optional Method" or something else (like Partial, Optional is also a known VB name).

I don't think your example is a very good example of partial methods. You can already achieve the conditional output of a method call by using the Conditional attribute (which is a lot nicer solution).

<Conditional("DEBUG")> _

Private Sub LogMessage(ByVal s as String)

Console.WriteLine(s)

End Sub

Will there be support for partial properties too?

David, using the ConditionalAttribute would work for the DoStuff method but you would still have to leave the LogMessage method in your code. If you wanted to exclude the LogMethod from your code, then this approach achieves it (albeit by exchanging it for a partial method declaration).

Not a huge difference, I agree, but a difference nonetheless :)

少し前から話題になっている Partial Method ですが、グローバルサミットの時にVBチームの方に質問した内容の返答がブログに掲載されています！！すげーー！！ http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2007/03/27/partial-methods.aspx Partial Method に関して何のためにいつ使うのか、もしかして AOP っぽいもの？っていうのを尾崎さんに通訳をしてもらいながら質問しました。その時は会話だけでコミュ...

I am MVP of Japan that questioned you. It read very interesting.

Thank you.

PartialMethod was understood as the thing to add mounting the method

according to the situation.

I think that the usage of substitution from the If Else macro is very

good.

However, timing and the usage used are a little difficult.

The designer uses it for the code generation.

The developer doesn't use it so much.

Klaus,

I beleive "partial methods" is the final name for the feature. We picked it because of its close association with partial classes.

Nick,

No, there will not be support for partial properties. In general partial methods cannot have return types, so the only kind of partial properties we would be able to support would be write-only properties, which are not that useful.

Not supporting return types is a bit of a missed opportunity though.

Can't this be achieved by using a syntax construct in which there is no method body (like an abstract method) as opposed to an empty one?

Cheers

I don't want this feature owned by C# .

こんにちは、VSUGスタッフの杉山です。少し前の話ですが、３月の中旬にマイクロソフト本社で行われた Global Summit に参加してきました。僕自身初海外ということでかなり緊張しての参加だったのですが、レベルの高いセッションを受けられたこと、多くの MVPの方と交流を持てたこと、向こうのセッションに直に触れられたことの興奮で緊張なんてスッカリ忘れ、充実した４日間を過ごさせてもらいました。 ...
