VB syntax

Visual Basic.Net Program Code N.B. Unless otherwise stated the following should apply to all versions of VB.Net.

Variables and Constants

Variables are used to store data values as the program runs. The values in a variable may change as the program runs.

Constants are similar to variable, but their value is fixed and cannot be changed as the program runs.

• There are many different data types, each intended to hold certain types of data
• Before you can use a variable you must declare it.
• To store values in variables you must use assignment statements.
