smaple:

sub SomeSub()
static i as integer = 1
i+= 1
end Sub

strange as initial Value means first call the variable = has as default max
( 243..... ) integer as value.

is this normal?

Since you only incriment the value, are you saying in the debugger that you
look at the value on the first call and it is not 1 or 2 when you stop at the
i+=1 line?

Thats ok

no the initial Value is i = Integer.Max
I was expecting i = 0

The initial value should be 1 because you are initializing the static
variable to 1. However, after the first call the value of 'i' is 2.
 
Hello Herfried K. Wagner [MVP],
The initial value should be 1 because you are initializing the static
variable to 1. However, after the first call the value of 'i' is 2.

Sorry it must be 1 Correct!
but it is the max value of a integer
so I'm astonished!

* How do you call the method?
* How do you determine the value of 'i'?

I can't repro the problem in VB 2003, 2005, 2008. I single stepped into the
procedure. Before the assignment of 1, the value is 0. After the assignment,
it is 1. After the increment it is 2. Everything as expected.

When and where do you see the value?
