Why does "ELSE : " compile in vb.net?

Why does this compile?

If Months > 1 Then

    Label.Text = Months + " Months"

Else : Months = 1

    Label.Text = Months + " Month"

End If

Using Visual Studio 2010.

Solution

  • : is a statement separator. It's equivalent to a newline:

    If Months > 1 Then

    Label.Text = Months + " Months"

Else

    Months = 1
    Label.Text = Months + " Month"

End If
