Haven't seen that around here for a very long time.
I like the construct.
It is ideal for small business classes that do a simple conversion,
format, etc., then 'exit'. For it 'wraps' up all the 'required' setup
in one nice block. Makes it very clear what you are doing, and helps
to avoid accidental deletion during later code maintence.
I also like to use it as a kind of 'constructor' where you preferred
an initial setup/state for some attributes you already had properties
for, but not necessarily for all or any every time.
For example ...
' in one case
With New ClassName
.Property1 = <whatever>
.Property2 = <whatever>
End With
' in another ...
With New ClassName
.Property1 = value
.Property3 = value2
End With
... removed the need to write a separate multiple argument constructor
method that provided for optional arguments.
[Also occasionally providing a .ObjectReference method to the class in
case I needed to pass it out of the procedure it was created in.]
Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that not everyone shares my
opinion on the beauty of auto-instantiation. It seemed that no matter
what shop I went to there was always someone who, or in some cases an
entire team, that would rise up in horror. <g>
Forget the auto-instantiation for the moment, some shops absolutely
refuse to accept With statements.
So after getting tired of debating the subject, I sort of let the
habit just side by. <bg>
