Basics

Sample Program

Public Module Program

Public Sub Main(args() As string)
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
End Sub
End Module

Public Module : Every program contains a module which has the data and
procedures that your program uses. Here we are declaring module named
Program with public visibility.
Main : Beginning of your program
Console.WriteLine : Console is a class of the System namespace and
WriteLine() is a method in it which is used to print text to the console.
VB.net is not a Case-sensitive language
' : Single line Comment

Constants

[ < attributeList > ] [ accessModifier ] [ Shadows ] Const constantName [ As

attributeList − attributeList is optional where you can specify the list of

attributes applied to the constants.

accessModifier − accessModifier is optional where you specify the accessibility

of the constants like Public, Protected, Private, Friend or Protected Friend.

Shadows − shadows is also optional which makes the constant hide a

programming element of identical name.

constantName − constantName specifies the name of the constant

datatype − datatype specifies the data type of the constant

value − value specifies the value assigned to the constant

Const TOTAL As Integer = 100

Public Const NAME As String = "One Compiler"

they return a value when they are called.

[accessModifiers] Function functionName [(parameterList)] As returnType

'code
End Function

Sub-Procedures
