Variable initialisation

[JohnFol]

If you look at the following two pieces of code they perform exactly the
same task

Dim sMessage As String
sMessage = "Hello!"

Dim sMessage As String = "Hello!"

Is there any difference "behind the scenes" where one of the following is
preferable to the other, or is this just personal preference?

Re: Variable initialisation

Personnal preference (unlike VB6). You could look at the MSIL code to make
sure...
