DataSource

Question

User-1100895119 posted

I'm having trouble converting the C# code code below to vb.net (source: Flash Tag Cloud control for ASP.NET (http://flashtagcloud.codeplex.com/)):


WPCumulus1.DataSource = new[]
    {
            new {Text = "TagX", Count = 10, Link="/Tags/Silverlight" },
            new {Text = "TagY", Count = 25, Link="http://iis.net" },
            new {Text = "IE 8", Count = 12, Link="/Tags/IE8" },
         };
WPCumulus1.DataBind();

Using Telerik's code converter I get this:

WPCumulus1.DataSource = New () {New With { _
    .Text = "TagX", _
    .Count = 10, _
    .Link = "/Tags/Silverlight" _
}, New With { _
    .Text = "TagY", _
    .Count = 25, _
    .Link = "http://iis.net" _
}, New With { _
    .Text = "IE 8", _
    .Count = 12, _
    .Link = "/Tags/IE8" _
}}
WPCumulus1.DataBind()

In VS2010 I get the error "Error 9 Type expected." referring to "New ()".

Could someone guide me?

Here's a link that shows how you can get arrays of anonymous types in VB.NET: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/849836/anonymous-class-initialization-in-vb-net . Apparently there is no direct equivalent in VB.NET to the C# code.
