vb.net elseif
These questions are about using elseif in visual basic.net.
1. Is there any difference between elseif and else if ?
2. If I have elseif (conditionA and conditionB) is it possible that conditionB is tested in the case that conditionA is false? For example, if the testing of conditionB will cause a runtime error in the case that conditionA is false is it possible for this elseif statement to cause a runtime error? Ada has a if (conditionA && conditionB) statement that will insure that the second condition is never tested if the first fails. Does vb.net have anything like this?

Thank you both - I appreciate the help!
>>because conditionB will never be tested unless conditionA is evaluated as True FIRST?
Right
Right
If stringA.text.length > 1 And conditionB Then
End If
this means both conditions should be true than this block will run.
Thanks,

2. Yes... short circuit is what I was looking for - thanks! Just to be sure... in vb.net:
if (stringA.text.length > 1 AndAlso conditionB) Then
if conditionB would cause a runtime error if stringA were null... this conditional statement will still work... because conditionB will never be tested unless conditionA is evaluated as True FIRST?
