is there any possibility to assign a value to a variable inside an IF condition in VB.NET?

Something like that:

Dim customer As Customer = Nothing

If IsNothing(customer = GetCustomer(id)) Then
    Return False
End If

Thank you

    Sorry, no. On the other hand, it would get really confusing, since VB.NET uses the same operator for both assignment and equality.

    If a = b Then 'wait, is this an assignment or comparison?!

    Instead, just set the variable and compare:

    Dim customer As Customer = Nothing

customer = GetCustomer(id)

If IsNothing(customer) Then
    Return False
End If
