Android Question Assign a value in the declaration

[marcick]

Is it a programming mistake to do something like this in Process_Global ?

Private curNotifyID As Int = 101

It is correct.
Why you think so?

I've read somewhere that you should just declare the type of variable in Process_Global, then assign a value in another place

If I'm not mistaken, the compiler once didn't allow those initializations.

I don't like it, in my opinion the initializations should be put... guess what? Sub Initialize.

But it's not a mistake or a big deal.

Since code modules do not require an Initialize sub, I guess that assign in declaration is required for that use case

Assignment of numeric and string types is fine and considered good practice.
