Declaring an instance of a class in vb.net?

Question

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between initialising an instance of a class with "= New" and "As New". Examples as follows:

Dim dt As New DataSet.PageDetailsDataTable

Dim dt = New DataSet.PageDetailsDataTable

Thanks!

Answer 1

The first statement declares and instantiates the object in the same statement, the second instantiates a previously declared object.
