Description
Hi,
Currently the VisualBasic ``With`` anonymous variable syntax can save our coding time, but we just can not get the value of the **anonymous variable**, so I think we can using ``$`` to reference the anonymous variable and get its value:
```vbnet
Sub Main()
Dim array%() = {1, 2, 3, 5}
For i% = 0 To array.Length - 1
With array(i)
Call Console.WriteLine(.ToString)
Call Console.WriteLine($)
End With
Next
With PopulateData()
Call Console.WriteLine(.ToString)
Call Console.WriteLine($)
End With
End Sub
Public Function PopulateData() As Integer
Return 1
End Function
```
If this new feature was implented, then we can using this ``With`` anonymous variable syntax in a more elegant way:
```vbnet
Sub Main()
Dim array%() = {1, 2, 3, 5}
For i% = 0 To array.Length - 1
With array(i)
' using anonymous variable that we can know that
' this code block is focus on implement the function 1
Call Console.WriteLine(.ToString)
Call Console.WriteLine($)
' This $ reference to the anonymous variable of With array(i)
With PopulateData($)
' using anonymous variable that we can know that
' this code block is focus on implement the function 2
Call Console.WriteLine(.ToString)
' This $ reference to the anonymous variable of With PopulateData($)
Call Console.WriteLine($)
End With
' This $ reference to the anonymous variable of With array(i)
Call Console.WriteLine($ + 100)
End With
Next
End Sub
Public Function PopulateData(x%) As Integer
Return x% + 98%
End Function
```
