Enums with spaces VB.NET

[Wlliam Cornwill]

Hi,

In VB6 you could declare and enumeration with spaces using the [enum
value] type syntax.

I am now trying to implement an enum in VB.NET using this syntax and I
am having an issue.

Public Enum myEnum
EnumWithoutSpaces
[Enum With Spaces]
End Enum

Private Sub (ByVal a As myEnum)
Select Case a
Case myEnum.EnumWithoutSpaces
'Do Something
Case myEnum.[Enum With Spaces]
'Do Something Else
End Select
End Sub

I get the message "Identifier expected." at compile time. Any help
would be appreciated.

Regards,

William

Will,
Spaces in Identifiers are not allowed, for valid characters in Identifiers
see:

Hope this helps
