Example Types of Variable

VB.Net provides a wide range of built-in data types including Boolean, Byte, Char, Date, Decimal, Double, Integer, Long, Object, SByte, Short, Single, String, UInteger, ULong, UShort and user-defined types. The document describes the storage size and value ranges for each data type. An example program demonstrates using some of the data types like Byte, Integer, Single, Double, Date, Char, String, and Boolean.

Data Types Available in VB.

VB.Net provides a wide range of data types. The following table shows all the data
types available:

ULong 8 bytes 0 through 18,446,744,073,709,551,615


(unsigned)

User- Depends on Each member of the structure has a range


Defined implementing platform determined by its data type and
independent of the ranges of the other
members

UShort 2 bytes 0 through 65,535 (unsigned)


Example
The following example demonstrates use of some of the types:

Module DataTypes

Sub Main()

Dim b As Byte

Dim n As Integer

Dim si As Single

Dim d As Double

Dim da As Date

Dim c As Char

Dim s As String

Dim bl As Boolean

b = 1

n = 1234567

si = 0.12345678901234566

d = 0.12345678901234566

da = Today

c = "U"c

s = "Me"

If ScriptEngine = "VB" Then

bl = True

Else

bl = False

End If

If bl Then

'the oath taking

Console.Write(c & " and," & s & vbCrLf)

Console.WriteLine("declaring on the day of: {0}", da)

Console.WriteLine("We will learn VB.Net seriously")

Console.WriteLine("Lets see what happens to the floating point variables:")

Console.WriteLine("The Single: {0}, The Double: {1}", si, d)

End If

Console.ReadKey()

End Sub

End Module

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
U and, Me

declaring on the day of: 12/4/2012 12:00:00 PM

We will learn VB.Net seriously

Lets see what happens to the floating point variables:

The Single:0.1234568, The Double: 0.123456789012346
