Brad Jensen discussed coding standards, including:

>  no single line IFs.

Everything else you said made sense, but I've never heard of this as
being bad practice.  What's the problem?

Unless you mean something like (in Java, but no doubt VB has its
equivalent):

        if ( someCondition() ) performSomeFunction();

instead of

        if ( someCondition() )
        {
                performSomeFunction();
        }

I prefer the latter too, for readability, but the former is very common;
and which is better is largely a matter of opinion -- or house style, of
course.

Cheers,

Martin.
