Hi Chad,

this is to define a structure. but here i don't want to define the
structure. below i am trying to explain the typedef(of C)--

The typedef keyword defines a synonym for the specified type-declaration.
The identifier in the type-declaration becomes another name for the type,
instead of naming an instance of the type.

so if i define
typedef int myint

then where ever i need to take any variable as "int" i can take "myint"
instead.
is this type of functionality available in VB

Thanks for ur help.
