• Sianoosh ADO.NET Hell

• George Bolsch Call

  Hi, I have a question. Wich is the performance difference between using the word 'call' for calling a sub and just use the name of the sub. Hi, There is no performance difference. I think this statement is still being retained since VB has evolved over the years and it is required for compatibility in case of upgrades and VB.NET/VB2005 do not really need it as such. Here is the definition from MSDN anyways: "You are not required to use the ...Show All
