No increment operator in VB.net

Viewed 20833

I am fairly new to vb.net and came across this issue while converting a for loop in C# to VB.net I realized that the increment operators are not available in vb.net (++ and --) whereas i was able it do something like cnt +=1

I researched a bit and came across Eric's post on the same, but wasn't really able to understand fully on it. He mentions of In VB, a STATEMENT cannot be just an EXPRESSION. not sure how that really fits in.

I hope someone here would be able to explain why this doesn't work in the same way as it does in C#. (Hope this will also hold true as in why we have == in C# for comparison)
