What is the use of the := syntax?
I've tried hunting down the MDSN documentation for := in VB.NET as well as scoured Google only to be linked to a dead MSDN page... What would the purpose of := be?
回答1:
It strongly names arguments, allowing you to call a method with arguments in an order other than that specified in the method definition.
For example:
sub foo (byval x As Long, byval y As Long)
debug.print (String.Format("{0}, {1}", x.ToString, y.ToString))
end Function
can be called with the order of the arguments reversed by using their names:
foo (y:=999, x:=111)
prints:
111, 999
This is especially useful when you have a long list of optional arguments, you only want to specify a few of them, and those that you want to specify are not the first ones.

It's used to name arguments in a method call and is usually used with optional arguments.
It's especially useful for calling Word or Excel methods through ActiveX calls, where there are an awful lot of optional arguments, most of which are never used.
回答3:
Assigns values by names instead of position.
Given
Private Function foo(arg1 As Integer, arg2 As Integer) As Boolean
Debug.WriteLine("{0} {1}", arg1, arg2)
Return True
End Function
these produce the same result
foo(arg2:=2, arg1:=1)
foo(1, 2)
debug output
1 2
1 2

I am not sure about VB.NET, but in Visual Basic 6.0 that was the syntax for assigning a value to method parameter by name rather than by ordinal position.
