Question

I found that this answer was asked and answered before VS2010 was actually released.

They say that

VB9 has only single-line anonymous
functions. We’re adding full statement
and multi-line lambdas in VB10.

But I tried to add this code

 Dim test2 = Function(t1 As T, t2 As T) (
 Dim val1 As IComparable = DirectCast(prop.GetValue(t1), IComparable)
 Dim val2 As IComparable = DirectCast(prop.GetValue(t2), IComparable)
 Return val1.CompareTo(val2)
 )

to a .NET Framework 4.0 project in Visual Studio 2010 and it does not compile.

Do you now if this feature is really implemented and what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I believe you are only missing your ‘End Function’ line. Try this:

 Dim test2 = (Function(t1 As T, t2 As T)
 Dim val1 As IComparable = DirectCast(prop.GetValue(t1), IComparable)
 Dim val2 As IComparable = DirectCast(prop.GetValue(t2), IComparable)
 Return val1.CompareTo(val2)
 End Function)
