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

Variables

Dim VariableName As Datatype 'variable Declaration

VariableName = value 'Variable Initialization

Example

Dim byteVar As Byte

Dim intVar As Integer = 100

Dim doubleVar As Double

Dim dateVar As Date

Dim charVar As Char = "A"

Dim strVar As String = "OneCompiler"

Dim boolVar As Boolean = TRUE

Constants

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

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"

Functions consists of a set of statements which perform a sepcific functionality and they
return a value when they are called.

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

'code

End Function

Sub-Procedures

Sub ProcedureName (parameterList)

'Code

End Sub
