# vb examples
Small examples of Visual Basic (VB.NET) code
## VB naming conventions
### General Rules
* Begin each separate word in a name with a capital letter: **WriteExample**
* When you name an element in your Visual Basic application, the first character of that name must be an alphabetic character or an underscore.
* An element name must only contain alphabetic characters, decimal digits, and underscores.
* An element name must contain at least one alphabetic character or decimal digit if it begins with an underscore.
* An element name must not be more than 1023 characters long.
* If an event has a concept of "before" or "after," use a suffix in present or past tense: **ControlAdd** or **ControlAdded**
* For long or frequently used terms, use abbreviations to keep name lengths reasonable.
* Variable names greater than 32 characters are difficult to read on a monitor set to a low resolution.
* Make sure your abbreviations are consistent throughout the entire application.
* Avoid using names in an inner scope that are the same as names in an outer scope. If a conflict occurs between a variable and the keyword of the same name, you must identify the keyword by preceding it with the appropriate type library. For example, if you have a variable called *Date*, you can use the intrinsic *Date* function only by calling *DateTime.Date*.
* Do not use "My" or "my" as part of a variable name
| Element | Notation | Example | Notes |
|-----------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Class | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | ClassName | Begin with a noun. In names of event argument classes, include the "EventArgs" suffix. |
| Constant | camelCase (lowerCamelCase) | constName | |
| Event handler | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | MouseEventHandler | Begin names with a noun describing the type of event followed by the "Handler" suffix. |
| Function/Method | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | RunFunction | Begin function and method names with a verb. |
| Interface | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | IComponent, IPersistable | Begin interface names with the prefix "I", followed by a noun or a noun phrase, or with an adjective describing the interface's behavior. Do not use the underscore, and use abbreviations sparingly because abbreviations can cause confusion. |
| Module | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | ModuleName | Begin with a noun. |
| Property | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | PropertyName() | Begin with a noun. |
| Structure | PascalCase (UpperCamelCase) | StructureName | Begin with a noun. |
| Variable | camelCase (lowerCamelCase) | variableName | |
### Comment conventions
* Put comments on a separate line instead of at the end of a line of code.
* Start comment text with an uppercase letter, and end comment text with a period.
* Insert one space between the comment delimiter (') and the comment text.
```vbnet
' Here is a comment.
```
