Question

Given the code below, what does the “with” keyword do? I’m not very familiar with it, and I’m not sure of its purpose.

Sub NotePage_Load()


With Request.Form

Thanks
Kevin

Answer 1

It’s a shorthand… everything within the With..End With block will be treated as if something is appended in front of it.

Ex:

With Request.Form
  ["xxx"] = "yyy"
  ["aaa"] = "bbb"
End With

is equal to the following:

Request.Form["xxx"] = "yyy"
Request.Form["aaa"] = "bbb"
