Namespace:  System.CodeDom
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

'Usage
Dim instance As CodeVariableDeclarationStatement

CodeVariableDeclarationStatement can be used to represent code that declares a variable.

The Type property specifies the type of the variable to declare. The Name property specifies the name of the variable to declare. The InitExpression property is optional, and specifies an initialization expression to assign to the variable after it is created.

NoteNote:

Some languages can implement the optional variable initialization expression by making a separate assignment statement after the variable declaration.

This example demonstrates using a CodeVariableDeclarationStatement to declare a variable.

Dim variableDeclaration As New CodeVariableDeclarationStatement( _
    GetType(String), "TestString", _ 
    New CodePrimitiveExpression("Testing")) 

' The first two parameters indicate the type and name of the variable to declare. 
' The optional initExpression parameter initializes the variable. 

' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: 

' Dim TestString As String = "Testing"

System.Object
  System.CodeDom.CodeObject
    System.CodeDom.CodeStatement
      System.CodeDom.CodeVariableDeclarationStatement
