It is something that you often find in C++. The old convention was _ =
external.
The snippet looked legal to me. I think that I would need to try out the
code in context to know what was wrong.

Hi Mark,
I must say, I very frequently see online code samples where the variable
names begin with the underscore character. I've never quite worked out
why this should be a popular naming convention. But equally, as I've
never tried emulating it, I've not encountered the problem Che is
reporting either. Maybe I'll see what happens in VS.NET 2003.
All the best,
David

Are you sure that it isn't an underline and a space at the end
of a line? That would be a line continuation character.

I am working on a tutorial and putting in the code line for
line as they
have it listed. They have a variable name that starts with an
underline:
Code snippet:
Private _dev As Device
_dev = New Device
end snippet.
When I move off this line, I get an error saying declaration
expected that
is pointing to the line
_dev = New device
When I go through the line character by character, it is not
showing me
the underline before the dev in the editor. If I add an
underline, it is
still not showing it in the editor, and as soon as I arrow off
the line, I
get the same error.
Is this just a jaws bug? Is there a way to verify that the
underline is
there? Why would I be getting an undeclared variable error when
it looks
like I have just declared the variable? I am copying this code
line for
line from the online tutorial, and it is coded for vb .net 2005
express
beta, which is what I am using.
Finally, how do I turn off this annoying error box that pops
up everytime
I try to edit my code? As it stands, I have to alt f4 it away,
then f7 back
to my form and arrow down to the line I need to edit. Gotta be
a better
way, eh?
Much thanks,
Che
