OR works differently in VB....

[EGD Eric]

How do I get or to work properly, like in other languages? For example: the following code crashes in VB. In any other language, it would work:

Code: Select all

        If frmAbout Is Nothing Or frmAbout.IsDisposed = True Then
            frmAbout = New AboutBox
            frmAbout.Show()
        End If


it crashes because it checks both the left side and the right side. In C, or C#, or Java, it would check the left side, go: Ah! one condition has been satisfied, I do not need to check the right one. Not VB, nu-uh, it checks both like a bonehead. Is there anyway to get it to just check one?[/code][/b]
