"With" Keyword

[Sync]

Could anyone please tell me which keyword can we use in C# as like as "With" keyword in vb.NET?
I think no keyword like that..
thanks.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is no equivalent to VB's With keyword in C#.

If your main incentive for using "With" in VB was to save typing, then you can accomplish something similar by assigning to an abbreviated variable:

VB:
With LongNameYouDontWantToRetype
.a...
.b...
End With

C#:
SomeType o = LongNameYouDontWantToRetype
o.a...
o.b...

I personally don't do this, but it accomplishes the same goal as "With".

Hi David,

Suppose:
I would like to write like that.

Dim objCandidatePersonalInformations as New CandidatePersonalInformations
With objCandidatePersonalInformations
.FirstName = "Michael"
.LastName = "Sync"
End

As u said,

CandidatePersonalInformations objCandidatePersonalInformations = New CandidatePersonalInformations();

xxxType o = objCandidatePersonalInformations;

o.FirstName="Michael"
o.LastName="Sync"

Is it what you meant?

[David Anton]

Yes, but the type of the abbreviated variable has to be the same.
Note that I don't code like this - just offering something that performs a similar function to VB's "With".

CandidatePersonalInformations objCandidatePersonalInformations = New CandidatePersonalInformations();

...

CandidatePersonalInformations o = objCandidatePersonalInformations;

o.FirstName="Michael"
o.LastName="Sync"
