Using If statements in a class definition-CodePudding

Is there any way to define class properties using If statements with a public variable already declared?

Let's i have a class defined like this:

Public Class SomeDude
     Property strName As String
     Property datBirth As Date
End Class

Is there anyway to have sth like this:

Public Class SomeDude
     Property strName As String
     If strPublicVariable = "foo" then
          Property datBirth As Date
     Else
          Property strBirth As String
     End If
End Class

No, You must have to declare type.

or you have to use Directives to make it compile time https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference/directives/if-then-else-directives
