One line if in VB .NET

Is it possible to do one line if statement in VB .NET? If so, how?

From stackoverflow

• Just add Then:

  If A = 1 Then A = 2
  

  or:

  If A = 1 Then _
      A = 2
  

• It's actually pretty simple..

  If CONDITION Then ..INSERT CODE HERE..
  

  codeape : And the Else part?

  Joey : You just put Else at the end.

• Or

  IIf(CONDITION, TRUE_ACTION, FALSE_ACTION)
  

  peSHIr : And this is an expression, while the question asked for a statement. ;-)

• You can use the IIf function too:

  CheckIt = IIf(TestMe > 1000, "Large", "Small")
  

• Use IF().

  Dim Result = IF(expression,<true return>,<false return>)

  • IIF becomes If, and a true ternary operator

  • Is there a conditional ternary operator in VB.NET?

  • Orcas introduces the IF operator - a new and improved IIF

  • The Ternary Operator in VB.NET

• Be careful with the IIf opertor though - it is not always short-circuited and both the true and false expressions are evaluated.

• At the risk of causing some cringing by purests and c# programmers, you can use multiple statements and else in a one-line if statement in VB. In this example, y ends up 3 and not 7.

  i = 1
  If i = 1 Then x = 3 : y = 3 Else x = 7 : y = 7
  

  hamlin11 : Why go half way??? i = 1 : if i = 1 Then x = 3 : y = 3 Else x = 7 : y = 7
