VB.

NET Data Type

• A Data Type refers to which type of data or
value is assigning to a variable or function so
that a variable can hold a defined data type
value
• Syntax:
• Dim Variable_Name as DataType
Boolean A Boolean type depends on the implementing
platform
Byte 1 byte
Char 2 bytes
Date 8 bytes
Decimal 16 bytes

Double 8 bytes
Integer 4 bytes
Long 8 bytes
Object Object size based on the platform such as 4
bytes in 32-bit and 8 bytes in 64-bit platform

SByte 1 byte
Short 2 bytes
Single 4 bytes
String String Datatype depend on the implementing
platform
 Type Conversion Functions in VB.NET

• CBool(expression): It is used to convert an expression into a Boolean data type.

• CByte(expression): It is used to convert an expression to a Byte data type.
• CChar(expression): It is used to convert an expression to a Char data type.
• CDate(expression): It is used to convert an expression to a Date data type.
• CDbl(expression): It is used to convert an expression into a Double data type.

• CObj(expression): It is used to convert an expression to an Object data type.
• CSByte(expression): It is used to convert an expression to an SByte data type.
• CShort(expression): It is used to convert an expression to a Short data type.
 VB.NET Variables Declaration
• The declaration of a variable is simple that requires a variable name and data type
followed by a Dim.
• A Dim is used in Class, Module, structure, Sub, procedure.
Syntax:
Dim [Variable_Name] As [Defined Data Type]
•
Dim:- It is used to declare and allocate the space for one or more variables in
memory.
• Variable_Name:- It defines the name of the variable to store the values.
• As :- It is a keyword that allows you to define the data type in the declaration
statement.
• Data TypeIt defines a data type that allows variables to store data types such as
Char, String, Integer, Decimal, Long, etc.
• ValueAssign a value to the variable.

For Example:-
Dim Roll_no As Integer
Dim Emp_name As String
Dim Salary As Double
 initialize a variable at the time of
declaration
• Dim Roll_no As Integer = 101
• Dim Emp_name As String = " A S Patil "
 Getting Values from the User in VB.NET

• Console class provides the Readline() function

in the System namespace. It is used to take
input from the user and assign a value to a
variable.
For example:
• Dim name As String
• name = Console.ReadLine()
• Or name = Console.ReadLine
 Declaration of Constants

• const is a keyword that is used to declare a

variable as constant. The Const statement can
be used with module, structure, procedure,
form, and class.
• Syntax:
• Const constname As datatype = value
For Example:
Const num As Integer = 10
 Scope of Variable in VB.NET

• Procedure Scope
• Module Scope
• Public Scope
 Procedure (local) scope

• A local variable is a type of variable defined

within a procedure scope, block, or function.
• It is available with a code inside the
procedure, and it can be declared using
the Dim or static statement.
• Not accessible from outside of the local
method.
 Module Scope

• All existing procedures can easily identify a variable that is

declared inside a module sheet is called a module-level
variable.
• Is is visible to all procedures within that module only, but it is
not available for other module's procedures.
• The Dim or private statement at the top of the first procedure
declaration can be declared the module-level variables.
• These variables cannot be declared inside any procedure block
Private num As Integer // A private module-level variable
Dim name As String // Another private module-level variable
 Global (Public) Scope

• A global variable is a variable that is used to access

the variables globally in a program.
• It can be accessed by all the procedures or
modules available in a program.
• To access the variables globally in a program,
use the friend or public keyword with a variable in
a module or class at the top of the first procedure
function.
• Global scope is also known as the Namespace
scope
 VB.NET Operators
• Arithmetic Operators
Operators Example
^ Y ^ X (X to the power Y)

+ X+Y

- X-Y

* X*Y
/ X/Y
\ X\Y
Mod X Mod Y
 Comparison Operators
Operator Example
= (A = B)
<> (A <> B), check Non-Equality
> (A > B); if yes, TRUE,Else FALSE

< (A < B); if the condition is true, returns TRUE else FALSE

>= A >= B

<= A <= B

Is result = obj1 Is obj2

IsNot Result = obj1 IsNot obj2

Like The Like Operator is used to check the pattern expression of string
variable; And if the pattern matched, the result is True; otherwise,
it returns False.result = string Like the pattern, the pattern
represents the series of characters used by Like Operator.
 Logical and Bitwise Operators
Operator Description Example
And The And Operator represents, whether both the operands are true; (A And B), result = False
the result is True.
Or It is an Or Operator that returns a true value; if anyone operand is (A Or B), result = True
true from both the operands.
Not The Not Operator is used to reverse the logical condition. For Not AOr
example, if the operand's logic is True, it reveres the condition and Not(A And B) is True
makes it False.

Xor It is an Exclusive OR Operator that represents, whether both the A Xor B is True
expression is true or false, the result is True; otherwise, the result is
False.

AndAlso It is a logical AND Operator that performs short-circuit operation A AndAlso B = False
on the variables, and if both the operands are true, the result is True
else the result is False.

OrElse It is a logical OR Operator that perform short-circuit operation on A OrElse B = True

Boolean data. If anyone of the operand is true, the result is True
else the result is False.

IsFalse The IsFalse Operator is used to determine whether an expression is

False.
IsTrue The IsTrue Operator is used to determine whether an expression is
True.
 Assignment Operators
Operator Example
= X = 5, X assign a value 5
X = P + Q, (P + Q) variables or value assign to X.
+= X += 5, which means
X= X+5 ( 5 will add and assign to X and then result saved to
Left X operand)
-= X -= P, which is same as X = X - P

*= X *= P, which is same as X = X - P

/= X /= P, which is same as X = X - P

\= X \= P, which is same as X = X - P

^= X ^= P, which is same as X = X ^ P

&= Str &= name, which is same a

 Concatenation Operators

Operator Example

& Result = Wel & come,

Result = Welcome

+ Result = Wel + come,

Result = Welcome
