Program Structure

When a class or structure is instantiated, its class constructor (which in VB is a subroutine named New) is automatically invoked. In addition, each executable requires an entry point in the form of a function or subroutine named Main. For example:

Public Class PgmStruct

   Private Value As Integer

   Public Sub New(x As Integer)
      Value = x   
   End Sub

   Public Shared Sub Main(  )
      Dim obj As New PgmStruct(100)
      Console.WriteLine(obj.Value)
   End Sub
End Class
