Clif,
I suspect that in VB6, the first line
transfered the values, but in VB.Net it is transfering the pointer. Here's
the difference:
ABC = 100^200^300
DEF = ABC
DEF<3> = 400
ABC = DEF
The
above moves the values into DEF (line 2), modifies DEF separately from ABC
(line 3) and then updates ABC with the same value as DEF (line 4). This
is, I believe how VB6 does it.
The other way to read the above is
that DEF receives a pointer to ABC (line 2) which makes them share the
same spot in memory. We modify the value in ABC and DEF at the same time
(line 3) because they are functionally the same variable. You can't
perform the '=' (line 4) because you are trying to change the pointer in
ABC to itself.
