Just me being a little nit-picky, but "End If" is something the VS.Net IDE adds for you as soon as you finish typing "Then" since the first version back in 2002.
In VS2005 and newer if you type in "If Something = SomethingElse" if you press enter, it adds the "Then" keyword as well as the "End If" a couple of lines under it

Other than that, it's a decent video for showing an If Then Else statement.

Thank you very much! And ahh! I am not that advanced with VB so I do not understand the fancy names such as the VS.NET IDE ... But I believe that stands for VisualStudio.NET Integrated Development Environment? ...

Thanks alot!

That's exactly what it means.

I only said VS.Net to specify the first .Net version of Visual Studio, which is Visual Studio 2002 (.Net 1.0). Visual Studio 2002's internal version number is 7.0, here's a list of the version numbers in case you're curious:

6.0 : Visual Studio 6.0 : 1998 (the last non-.Net version of VS)
7.0 : Visual Studio 2002 : 2002 (C# 1.0, VB 7.0, .Net FW 1.0)
7.1 : Visual Studio 2003 : 2003 (C# 2.0, VB 7.1, .Net FW 1.1)
8.0 : Visual Studio 2005 : 2005 (C# 3.0, VB 8, .Net FW 2.0)
9.0 : Visual Studio 2008 : 2008 (C# 4.0, VB 9, .Net FW 3.5)
10.0 : Visual Studio 2010 : 2010 (C# 5.0, VB 10, .Net FW 4.0)

Thanks, I currently using VisualStudio 2010. What is your preferred / favourite VS?

 

[JuggaloBrotha]

Anything VS2005 and newer. I mostly use VS2008 at work & at home I use VS 2010 (though I still have some projects in VS2008 to upconvert to VS2010).

I have not tried any of the VS 11 beta's due to lack of time, I'll probably get it for free through my work's MSDN subscription when the final product is released.
