How to Assign A Structure Type In Declaration Moment?

I declared a variable whose type is structure i did , but i can't assign it 

Structure SHAPE
    Dim x as integer
    Dim y as integer
End Structure

Dim Shape1 As SHAPE = (15, 20) ' << The Problem is here

Public Sub test()
    Label1.Text = Shape1.x
End Sub
Solution

  • Structures don't magically understand whatever way you choose you try to get data into them. Like any type, if you want to be able to create an instance with specific data then add a constructor to do that, e.g.

    Public Structure Shape

    Public ReadOnly Property X As Integer
    Public ReadOnly Property Y As Integer

    Public Sub New(x As Integer, y As Integer)
        Me.X = x
        Me.Y = y
    End Sub

End Structure

    You then create an instance of that type as you would any other:

    Dim shape1 As New Shape(15, 20)
