What about using Nullable(Of Integer) as a optional parameter?

I'm pretty sure Lucian showed that to me after his talk at the PDC.

Thanks for the reminder, Jonathan. Yes, VB2010 allows nullables as optional parameters. Here are some examples.

Sub a(Optional ByVal x As Integer? = Nothing)

Sub b(Optional ByVal y As Integer? = 2)

Sub c(Optional ByVal x As Nullable(Of Integer) = Nothing)

Sub d(Optional ByVal y As Nullable(Of Integer) = 2)

Sub e(Optional ByVal z As MyStructure? = Nothing)

Please a refactoring to remove all line continuation characters. This would save me many hours each month reformatting lame formatted .NET code written in VB6/classic ASP style.

How does the parser distinguish an auto-property declaration from a normal one? Does it look ahead for "Get" or "Set" token, and, if there isn't one, assumes an auto-property?

How do auto-property declarations work with interfaces?

I guess upto now they still haven't invested in making the .net framework thread safe.

Sigh...
