As for the last little bit of code I flubbed during our interview, the code I should have written is:
For Each Item In PO…item
Dim Price As Double = First(Item.price)
Dim Quantity As Integer = First(Item.quantity)
Total += Quantity * Price
Next
The above works and is compatible (and ships) with the Visual Basic 9.0 tech preview. Currently, the Element function returns and IEnumerable(Of Element). We’re looking at ways that the call to First (similar to SQL’s Top) can be removed so that you can write:
For Each Item In PO…item
Dim Price As Double = Item.price
Dim Quantity As Integer = Item.quantity
Total += Quantity * Price
Next
Please try out the bits and send us your feedback!
And stay tuned for more code samples, releases, articles, and discussion on Visual Basic futures.
