>If the first condition is false, we don't need to evaluate the second. AndAlso only evaluates the second condition if the first is true. According to the linked article, both conditions will be evaluated if you used And. In other words, it seems we always want to use AndAlso in VB.NET instead of And
Not *always* :-}
Consider:
Dim i As Integer = 0
While True
If (i > 10) AndAlso (System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i),i - 1) > 10) Then
Exit While
End If
End While
