difference between "" and String.Empty

[Rohn Farrington]

Hi All,

Was just courious is there any performance/managebility issue while using ""
or String.Empty.

for example

Dim str As String = String.Empty '// first
Dim str As String = "" '// second
i.e. which one will run faster?

Thanks in advance

Dim str As String ' Will run even faster!

You don't need to initialize every variable when it is declared (and you
don't need to declare all of your variables at the beginning of your
methods). Just make sure each is initialized before use.
