FIX: Problems with Line Continuation Character

Q185784



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0





SYMPTOMS

When using the line continuation character ("_") in a Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic (VBCE) project, code may get parsed incorrectly causing it to be truncated or deleted. Commented as well as uncommented code can be affected. This could result in a loss of code.



RESOLUTION

This problem occurs most frequently when large numbers of line continuation characters are used. A workaround is to avoid using line continuation characters or to use them sparingly.



STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was corrected in Window CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0.
