Question

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and am unable to use the “Using” statement. I have just moved some code over from a .net 4 application, but that does not seem to be the problem as it is still not usable in a new app.

Using sw as StreamWriter = new StreamWriter(userFile2)
    For each blah as blahblah in blah()
        sw.WriteLine(blah)
    sw.Close()
End Using

Error = Using is not declared
I am lead to believe that it should work the exact same as in VB 2010.

Seems compile fine for me (VS 2005/.Net 2.0). You are missing Next for the For Each. Also you don’t have to explicitly call Close() for sw, the Using block take care of it.

Using sw as StreamWriter = new StreamWriter(userFile2)
    For each blah as blahblah in blah()
        sw.WriteLine(blah)
    Next
End Using
