Assignation inside IIF possible, why doesn't it work?
Question
Work :
publicity.Target = IIF(radioTarget1.Checked, "_blank", "_self").toString
Doesn't work :
IIF(radioTarget1.Checked, publicity.Target = "_blank", publicity.Target = "_self")
Why isn't the second option working?
Solution
Because it's not assignments you are doing inside the function call, it's comparisons.
It does the same as:
Dim result As Boolean
If radioTarget1.Checked Then
result = (publicity.Target = "_blank")
Else
result = (publicity.Target = "_self")
End If
OTHER TIPS
IIF is a function, not a language feature.
The second two parameters are objects that are potential return values of the function... not a block of code.
