If the New constructor allows it, you could also do something like this....
Dim p As New person(name:="stan", age:=27)

In C#, I can declare a variable all inline like this:
person p = new persion() {name="stan" age=27 };
instead of:
person p = new person();
p.name = "stan;
p.age = 27;
Is there an equivalent way to do this in VB?

Hello, naspinski,
In VB you can use a colon (i.e. ":") to sting statements together. So you could use something like:
Dim p As New Person : With p : .Name = "stan" : .Age = 27 : End With
to accomplish what you ask.
Personally, I make it a point of style to avoid both the use of "With" and stringing statements together.
Cheers,
Randy

Hi naspinski,
Dim p As New persion() With {.name="stan", .age=27}
Good Luck
