Hi All
Horrors! I'm in the process of familiarising myself with the new VB for .NET. In all
fairness I must say its not too bad at all, though I've been having quiet gloats at
the "new" language features ("ha! - had that in Delphi 1" etc.). I hadn't discovered
any capabilities I wasn't familiar with in Delphi, until I came across VB's Shared
class data members.
They work like this: a data member is declared as Shared (scope can be specified
normally) and all instances of the class and its descendants share the same variable -
a bit like having a global with class scope. I can see how they'd be useful in some
situations.
Quelle horreur, out-gunned by VB! I can't find an equivalent in Delphi - this is even
worse than losing the Americas cup! Can anyone put me out of my misery and point out
a feature of deepest, darkest Delphi where we can do the same?
