VBInformation Rule

Avoid references to the legacy VBInformation object.

Remarks

In general, you should avoid references to members of the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Runtime library. Most of the members of this library are for backwards compatibility with older version of Visual Basic. Generally, references to legacy calls do not take full advantage of the .NET framework, and are not portable to other languages without an explicit reference to the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Runtime library . In almost every case, you can replace calls to this library with .NET equivalents.

Resolution

The Information module contains the procedures used to return, test for, or verify information. Generally, there are .NET replacements for these objects. For example, Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.Err object could be replaced with .NET structured exception handling.
