 Classes in the <xref:System.IO> namespace are used to work with drives, files, and directories.
 
-The <xref:System.IO> namespace contains the <xref:System.IO.File> and <xref:System.IO.Directory> classes, which provide the .NET Framework functionality that manipulates files and directories. Because the methods of these objects are static or shared members, you can use them directly without creating an instance of the class first. Associated with these classes are the <xref:System.IO.FileInfo> and <xref:System.IO.DirectoryInfo> classes, which will be familiar to users of the `My` feature. To use these classes, you must fully qualify the names or import the appropriate namespaces by including the `Imports` statement(s) at the beginning of the affected code. For more information, see [Imports Statement (.NET Namespace and Type)](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/imports-statement-net-namespace-and-type.md).

 ### File encodings  
 
- File encodings, also known as character encodings, specify how to represent characters when text processing. Unexpected characters in a text file may result from incorrect encoding. For most files, one encoding may be preferable over another in terms of which language characters it can or cannot handle, although Unicode is usually preferred. For more information, see [File Encodings](../../../../visual-basic/developing-apps/programming/drives-directories-files/file-encodings.md) and <xref:System.Text.Encoding>.

  When you define a class or structure, you can define one or more conversion operators to convert that class or structure type to other types. You can also define reverse conversion operators to convert those other types back to your class or structure type. When you use your class or structure type in a procedure call, Visual Basic can use these conversion operators to convert the type of an argument to the type of its corresponding parameter.  
   
- If you pass the argument [ByRef](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byref.md), Visual Basic sometimes copies the argument value into a local variable in the procedure instead of passing a reference. In such a case, when the procedure returns, Visual Basic must then copy the local variable value back into the argument in the calling code.

In such a case, when the procedure returns, Visual Basic must then copy the local variable value back into the argument in the calling code.  
   
  If a `ByRef` argument value is copied into the procedure and the argument and parameter are of the same type, no conversion is necessary. But if the types are different, Visual Basic must convert in both directions. If one of the types is your class or structure type, Visual Basic must convert it both to and from the other type. If one of these conversions is widening, the reverse conversion might be narrowing.

 ## Run Time Errors  
  If a Visual Basic application tries to perform an action that the system can't execute, a run-time error occurs, and Visual Basic throws an `Exception` object. Visual Basic can generate custom errors of any data type, including `Exception` objects, by using the `Throw` statement. An application can identify the error by displaying the error number and message of a caught exception. If an error isn't caught, the application ends.  
   
- The code can trap and examine run-time errors. If you enclose the code that produces the error in a `Try` block, you can catch any thrown error within a matching `Catch` block. For information about how to trap errors at run time and respond to them in your code, see [Try...Catch...Finally Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/try-catch-finally-statement.md).

 ## Compile Time Errors  
  If the Visual Basic compiler encounters a problem in the code, a compile-time error occurs. In the Code Editor, you can easily identify which line of code caused the error because a wavy line appears under that line of code. The error message appears if you either point to the wavy underline or open the **Error List**, which also shows other messages.

For example, if you assign a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> to the `Object` variable and then try to access the <xref:System.Xml.XmlDocument.NameTable%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> property, the runtime throws a <xref:System.MemberAccessException> because the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form> class does not expose a `NameTable` property.

 # Type of optional value for optional parameter \<parametername> is not CLS-compliant
-A procedure is marked as `<CLSCompliant(True)>` but declares an [Optional](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/optional.md) parameter with default value of a noncompliant type.  
+A procedure is marked as `<CLSCompliant(True)>` but declares an [Optional](../modifiers/optional.md) parameter with default value of a noncompliant type.  
   
  For a procedure to be compliant with the [Language Independence and Language-Independent Components](../../../standard/language-independence-and-language-independent-components.md) (CLS), it must use only CLS-compliant types. This applies to the types of the parameters, the return type, and the types of all its local variables. It also applies to the default values of optional parameters.

 ## CStr and Date  
  The `Date` type always contains both date and time information. For purposes of type conversion, Visual Basic considers 1/1/0001 (January 1 of the year 1) to be a *neutral value* for the date, and 00:00:00 (midnight) to be a neutral value for the time. `CStr` does not include neutral values in the resulting string. For example, if you convert `#January 1, 0001 9:30:00#` to a string, the result is "9:30:00 AM"; the date information is suppressed. However, the date information is still present in the original `Date` value and can be recovered with functions such as <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.DatePart%2A>.

 ## Remarks
 
-As a rule, you should use the Visual Basic type conversion functions in preference to the .NET Framework methods such as `ToString()`, either on the <xref:System.Convert> class or on an individual type structure or class. The Visual Basic functions are designed for optimal interaction with Visual Basic code, and they also make your source code shorter and easier to read. In addition, the .NET Framework conversion methods do not always produce the same results as the Visual Basic functions, for example when converting `Boolean` to `Integer`. For more information, see [Troubleshooting Data Types](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/data-types/troubleshooting-data-types.md).

 Starting with Visual Basic 15.8, the performance of floating-point-to-integer conversion is optimized when you pass the <xref:System.Single> or <xref:System.Double> value returned by the following methods to one of the integer conversion functions (`CByte`, `CShort`, `CInt`, `CLng`, `CSByte`, `CUShort`, `CUInt`, `CULng`):

 - **Date/Time Conversions.** Use the <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.IsDate%2A> function to determine if a value can be converted to a date and time. `CDate` recognizes date literals and time literals but not numeric values. To convert a Visual Basic 6.0 `Date` value to a `Date` value in Visual Basic 2005 or later versions, you can use the <xref:System.DateTime.FromOADate%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method.
 
-- **Neutral Date/Time Values.** The [Date Data Type](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/data-types/date-data-type.md) always contains both date and time information. For purposes of type conversion, Visual Basic considers 1/1/0001 (January 1 of the year 1) to be a *neutral value* for the date, and 00:00:00 (midnight) to be a neutral value for the time. If you convert a `Date` value to a string, `CStr` does not include neutral values in the resulting string. For example, if you convert `#January 1, 0001 9:30:00#` to a string, the result is "9:30:00 AM"; the date information is suppressed. However, the date information is still present in the original `Date` value and can be recovered with functions such as <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.DatePart%2A> function.

 - **Culture Sensitivity.** The type conversion functions involving strings perform conversions based on the current culture settings for the application. For example, `CDate` recognizes date formats according to the locale setting of your system. You must provide the day, month, and year in the correct order for your locale, or the date might not be interpreted correctly. A long date format is not recognized if it contains a day-of-the-week string, such as "Wednesday".

-Typically, a method modified by the `Async` keyword contains at least one [Await](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/async.md) expression or statement. The method runs synchronously until it reaches the first `Await`, at which point it suspends until the awaited task completes. In the meantime, control is returned to the caller of the method. If the method doesn't contain an `Await` expression or statement, the method isn't suspended and executes as a synchronous method does.

 The `Async` keyword is an unreserved keyword. It is a keyword when it modifies a method or a lambda expression. In all other contexts, it is interpreted as an identifier.
 
 ## Return Types
 
-An async method is either a [Sub](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/procedures/sub-procedures.md) procedure, or a [Function](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/procedures/function-procedures.md) procedure that has a return type of <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task> or <xref:System.Threading.Tasks.Task%601>. The method cannot declare any [ByRef](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byref.md) parameters.

-You specify `Task(Of TResult)` for the return type of an async method if the [Return](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/return-statement.md) statement of the method has an operand of type TResult. You use `Task` if no meaningful value is returned when the method is completed. That is, a call to the method returns a `Task`, but when the `Task` is completed, any `Await` statement that's awaiting the `Task` doesn’t produce a result value.

 Specifies that a function or `Get` accessor is an iterator.  
   
 ## Remarks  
- An *iterator* performs a custom iteration over a collection. An iterator uses the [Yield](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/yield-statement.md) statement to return each element in the collection one at a time. When a `Yield` statement is reached, the current location in code is retained. Execution is restarted from that location the next time that the iterator function is called.

  An iterator can be implemented as a function or as a `Get` accessor of a property definition. The `Iterator` modifier appears in the declaration of the iterator function or `Get` accessor.

Each iteration of the [For Each](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/for-each-next-statement.md) statement body in `Main` creates a call to the `Power` iterator function.

 ## When to Use Shared  
  Sharing a member of a class or structure makes it available to every instance, rather than *nonshared*, where each instance keeps its own copy. This is useful, for example, if the value of a variable applies to the entire application. If you declare that variable to be `Shared`, then all instances access the same storage location, and if one instance changes the variable's value, all instances access the updated value.  
   
- Sharing does not alter the access level of a member. For example, a class member can be shared and private (accessible only from within the class), or nonshared and public. For more information, see [Access levels in Visual Basic](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/declared-elements/access-levels.md).

  Similarly, when you compare an expression of type `Decimal` to an expression of type `Single` or `Double`, the `Decimal` expression is converted to `Single` or `Double`. For `Decimal` expressions, any fractional value less than 1E-28 might be lost. Such fractional value loss may cause two values to compare as equal when they are not. For this reason, you should take care when using equality (`=`) to compare two floating-point variables. It is safer to test whether the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers is less than a small acceptable tolerance.
 
 ### Floating-point Imprecision
- When you work with floating-point numbers, keep in mind that they do not always have a precise representation in memory. This could lead to unexpected results from certain operations, such as value comparison and the [Mod Operator](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/operators/mod-operator.md).

Relational comparison operators return a `Boolean` result that represents whether or not the stated expression evaluates to `True`. When you apply the `>` and `<` operators to strings, the comparison is made using the normal alphabetical sorting order of the strings. This order can be dependent on your locale setting. Whether the sort is case-sensitive or not depends on the [Option Compare](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-compare-statement.md) setting.

 An `If` operator that is called with three arguments works like an `IIf` function except that it uses short-circuit evaluation. An `IIf` function always evaluates all three of its arguments, whereas an `If` operator that has three arguments evaluates only two of them. The first `If` argument is evaluated and the result is cast as a `Boolean` value, `True` or `False`. If the value is `True`, `argument2` is evaluated and its value is returned, but `argument3` is not evaluated. If the value of the `Boolean` expression is `False`, `argument3` is evaluated and its value is returned, but `argument2` is not evaluated. The following examples illustrate the use of `If` when three arguments are used:

 ## Pattern Options  
  Built-in pattern matching provides a versatile tool for string comparisons. The pattern-matching features allow you to match each character in `string` against a specific character, a wildcard character, a character list, or a character range. The following table shows the characters allowed in `pattern` and what they match.

 ## Special Characters  
  To match the special characters left bracket (`[`), question mark (`?`), number sign (`#`), and asterisk (`*`), enclose them in brackets. The right bracket (`]`) cannot be used within a group to match itself, but it can be used outside a group as an individual character.  
   
- The character sequence `[]` is considered a zero-length string (`""`). However, it cannot be part of a character list enclosed in brackets. If you want to check whether a position in `string` contains one of a group of characters or no character at all, you can use `Like` twice.

 ## Character Ranges  
  By using a hyphen (`–`) to separate the lower and upper bounds of the range, `charlist` can specify a range of characters. For example, `[A–Z]` results in a match if the corresponding character position in `string` contains any character within the range `A`–`Z`, and `[!H–L]` results in a match if the corresponding character position contains any character outside the range `H`–`L`.

This can adversely affect the performance of your application. `TryCast` returns [Nothing](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/nothing.md), so that instead of having to handle a possible exception, you need only test the returned result against `Nothing`.

You supply an expression as the first argument and a type to convert it to as the second argument. `TryCast` operates only on reference types, such as classes and interfaces.

 ## Errors and Failures  
- `TryCast` generates a compiler error if it detects that no inheritance or implementation relationship exists. But the lack of a compiler error does not guarantee a successful conversion. If the desired conversion is narrowing, it could fail at run time. If this happens, `TryCast` returns [Nothing](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/nothing.md).

  If the operands consist of one `Boolean` expression and one numeric expression, Visual Basic converts the `Boolean` expression to a numeric value (–1 for `True` and 0 for `False`) and performs a bitwise operation.  
   
- For a `Boolean` comparison, the data type of the result is `Boolean`. For a bitwise comparison, the result data type is a numeric type appropriate for the data types of `expression1` and `expression2`.

  Consider, for example, a collection of managers and a collection of employees.

The results from a `Group Join` operation would contain the complete list of managers. Each manager result would have a member that referenced the list of employees that were a match for the specific manager.

 ## Remarks  
- You can use the `Select` clause to define the results to return from a query. This enables you to either define the members of a new anonymous type that is created by a query, or to target the members of a named type that is returned by a query. The `Select` clause is not required for a query. If no `Select` clause is specified, the query will return a type based on all members of the range variables identified for the current scope. For more information, see [Anonymous Types](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/objects-and-classes/anonymous-types.md). When a query creates a named type, it will return a result of type <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601> where `T` is the created type.

  The `Select` clause can reference any variables in the current scope. This includes range variables identified in the `From` clause (or `From` clauses). It also includes any new variables created with an alias by the `Aggregate`, `Let`, `Group By`, or `Group Join` clauses, or variables from a previous `Select` clause in the query expression. The `Select` clause can also include static values. For example, the following code example shows a query expression in which the `Select` clause defines the query result as a new anonymous type with four members: `ProductName`, `Price`, `Discount`, and `DiscountedPrice`. The `ProductName` and `Price` member values are taken from the product range variable that is defined in the `From` clause. The `DiscountedPrice` member value is calculated in the `Let` clause. The `Discount` member is a static value.

 ## Remarks  
  The `Where` clause enables you to filter query data by selecting only elements that meet certain criteria. Elements whose values cause the `Where` clause to evaluate to `True` are included in the query result; other elements are excluded. The expression that is used in a `Where` clause must evaluate to a `Boolean` or the equivalent of a `Boolean`, such as an Integer that evaluates to `False` when its value is zero. You can combine multiple expressions in a `Where` clause by using logical operators such as `And`, `Or`, `AndAlso`, `OrElse`, `Is`, and `IsNot`.  
   
- By default, query expressions are not evaluated until they are accessed—for example, when they are data-bound or iterated through in a `For` loop. As a result, the `Where` clause is not evaluated until the query is accessed. If you have values external to the query that are used in the `Where` clause, ensure that the appropriate value is used in the `Where` clause at the time the query is executed. For more information about query execution, see [Writing Your First LINQ Query](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/writing-your-first-linq-query.md).

 ## Remarks

- You can use `Class` only at namespace or module level. This means the *declaration context* for a class must be a source file, namespace, class, structure, module, or interface, and cannot be a procedure or block. For more information, see [Declaration Contexts and Default Access Levels](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/declaration-contexts-and-default-access-levels.md).

- Each instance of a class has a lifetime independent of all other instances. This lifetime begins when it is created by a [New Operator](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/operators/new-operator.md) clause or by a function such as <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject%2A>.

 ## Rules  
   
 - **Nesting.** You can define one class within another. The outer class is called the *containing class*, and the inner class is called a *nested class*.  
   
-- **Inheritance.** If the class uses the [Inherits Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/inherits-statement.md), you can specify only one base class or interface. A class cannot inherit from more than one element.  
+- **Inheritance.** If the class uses the [Inherits Statement](inherits-statement.md), you can specify only one base class or interface. A class cannot inherit from more than one element.  
   
      A class cannot inherit from another class with a more restrictive access level. For example, a `Public` class cannot inherit from a `Friend` class.  
   
      A class cannot inherit from a class nested within it.  
   
-- **Implementation.** If the class uses the [Implements Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/implements-statement.md), you must implement every member defined by every interface you specify in `interfacenames`. An exception to this is reimplementation of a base class member. For more information, see "Reimplementation" in [Implements](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/implements-clause.md).

An exception to this is reimplementation of a base class member. For more information, see "Reimplementation" in [Implements](implements-clause.md).  
   
-- **Default Property.** A class can specify at most one property as its *default property*. For more information, see [Default](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/default.md).  
+- **Default Property.** A class can specify at most one property as its *default property*. For more information, see [Default](../modifiers/default.md).  
   
 ## Behavior  
   
-- **Access Level.** Within a class, you can declare each member with its own access level. Class members default to [Public](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/public.md) access, except variables and constants, which default to [Private](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/private.md) access. When a class has more restricted access than one of its members, the class access level takes precedence.

 ## Remarks
 
 Sometimes you need to call a procedure defined in a file (such as a DLL or code resource) outside your project. When you do this, the Visual Basic compiler does not have access to the information it needs to call the procedure correctly, such as where the procedure is located, how it is identified, its calling sequence and return type, and the string character set it uses. The `Declare` statement creates a reference to an external procedure and supplies this necessary information.
 
-You can use `Declare` only at module level. This means the *declaration context* for an external reference must be a class, structure, or module, and cannot be a source file, namespace, interface, procedure, or block.

 ## Remarks  
- Use a `Do...Loop` structure when you want to repeat a set of statements an indefinite number of times, until a condition is satisfied. If you want to repeat the statements a set number of times, the [For...Next Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/for-next-statement.md) is usually a better choice.  
+ Use a `Do...Loop` structure when you want to repeat a set of statements an indefinite number of times, until a condition is satisfied. If you want to repeat the statements a set number of times, the [For...Next Statement](for-next-statement.md) is usually a better choice.  
   
  You can use either `While` or `Until` to specify `condition`, but not both.  
   
  You can test `condition` only one time, at either the start or the end of the loop. If you test `condition` at the start of the loop (in the `Do` statement), the loop might not run even one time. If you test at the end of the loop (in the `Loop` statement), the loop always runs at least one time.  
   
- The condition usually results from a comparison of two values, but it can be any expression that evaluates to a [Boolean Data Type](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/data-types/boolean-data-type.md) value (`True` or `False`). This includes values of other data types, such as numeric types, that have been converted to `Boolean`.

- You can nest `Do` loops by putting one loop within another. You can also nest different kinds of control structures within each other. For more information, see [Nested Control Structures](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/control-flow/nested-control-structures.md).

-> The `Do...Loop` structure gives you more flexibility than the [While...End While Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/while-end-while-statement.md) because it enables you to decide whether to end the loop when `condition` stops being `True` or when it first becomes `True`.

  `Exit Do` is often used after some condition is evaluated, for example in an `If...Then...Else` structure. You might want to exit a loop if you detect a condition that makes it unnecessary or impossible to continue iterating, such as an erroneous value or a termination request. One use of `Exit Do` is to test for a condition that could cause an *endless loop*, which is a loop that could run a large or even infinite number of times. You can use `Exit Do` to escape the loop.

(For information about using the `Imports` statement to import an alias that can be used where type names are used in your code, see [Imports Statement (.NET Namespace and Type)](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/imports-statement-net-namespace-and-type.md).) The syntax for declaring an XML namespace by using the `Imports` statement is identical to the syntax used in XML. Therefore, you can copy a namespace declaration from an XML file and use it in an `Imports` statement.

-XML namespace prefixes are useful when you want to repeatedly create XML elements that are from the same namespace. The XML namespace prefix declared with the `Imports` statement is global in the sense that it is available to all code in the file. You can use it when you create XML element literals and when you access XML axis properties. For more information, see [XML Element Literal](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/xml-literals/xml-element-literal.md) and [XML Axis Properties](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/xml-axis/index.md).

 If you define a global XML namespace without a namespace prefix (for example, `Imports <xmlns="http://SomeNameSpace>"`), that namespace is considered the default XML namespace. The default XML namespace is used for any XML element literals or XML attribute axis properties that do not explicitly specify a namespace. The default namespace is also used if the specified namespace is the empty namespace (that is, `xmlns=""`). The default XML namespace does not apply to XML attributes in XML literals or to XML attribute axis properties that do not have a namespace.

  An *interface* defines a set of members, such as properties and procedures, that classes and structures can implement. The interface defines only the signatures of the members and not their internal workings.  
   
- A class or structure implements the interface by supplying code for every member defined by the interface. Finally, when the application creates an instance from that class or structure, an object exists and runs in memory.

-- **Access Level.** Within a module, you can declare each member with its own access level. Module members default to [Public](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/public.md) access, except variables and constants, which default to [Private](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/private.md) access. When a module has more restricted access than one of its members, the specified module access level takes precedence.

For more information, see [Declaration Contexts and Default Access Levels](declaration-contexts-and-default-access-levels.md).  
   
  You can declare one namespace within another. There is no strict limit to the levels of nesting you can declare, but remember that when other code accesses the elements declared in the innermost namespace, it must use a qualification string that contains all the namespace names in the nesting hierarchy.  
   
 ## Access Level  
  Namespaces are treated as if they have a `Public` access level. A namespace can be accessed from code anywhere in the same project, from other projects that reference the project, and from any assembly built from the project.  
   
- Programming elements declared at namespace level, meaning in a namespace but not inside any other element, can have `Public` or `Friend` access. If unspecified, the access level of such an element uses `Friend` by default. Elements you can declare at namespace level include classes, structures, modules, interfaces, enumerations, and delegates. For more information, see [Declaration Contexts and Default Access Levels](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/declaration-contexts-and-default-access-levels.md).

For more information, see [Declaration Contexts and Default Access Levels](declaration-contexts-and-default-access-levels.md).  
   
 ## Root Namespace  
  All namespace names in your project are based on a *root namespace*. Visual Studio assigns your project name as the default root namespace for all code in your project. For example, if your project is named `Payroll`, its programming elements belong to namespace `Payroll`. If you declare `Namespace funding`, the full name of that namespace is `Payroll.funding`.  
   
  If you want to specify an existing namespace in a `Namespace` statement, such as in the generic list class example, you can set your root namespace to a null value. To do this, click **Project Properties** from the **Project** menu and then clear the **Root namespace** entry so that the box is empty. If you did not do this in the generic list class example, the Visual Basic compiler would take `System.Collections.Generic` as a new namespace within project `Payroll`, with the full name of `Payroll.System.Collections.Generic`.  
   
- Alternatively, you can use the `Global` keyword to refer to elements of namespaces defined outside your project. Doing so lets you retain your project name as the root namespace. This reduces the chance of unintentionally merging your programming elements together with those of existing namespaces. For more information, see the "Global Keyword in Fully Qualified Names" section in [Namespaces in Visual Basic](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/program-structure/namespaces.md).

For more information, see the "Global Keyword in Fully Qualified Names" section in [Namespaces in Visual Basic](../../programming-guide/program-structure/namespaces.md).  
   
- The `Global` keyword can also be used in a Namespace statement. This lets you define a namespace out of the root namespace of your project.

  **Troubleshooting.** The root namespace can lead to unexpected concatenations of namespace names. If you make reference to namespaces defined outside your project, the Visual Basic compiler can construe them as nested namespaces in the root namespace. In such a case, the compiler does not recognize any types that have been already defined in the external namespaces. To avoid this, either set your root namespace to a null value as described in "Root Namespace," or use the `Global` keyword to access elements of external namespaces.

 ## Using the Of Keyword  
- The following code example uses the `Of` keyword to define the outline of a class that takes two type parameters. It *constrains* the `keyType` parameter by the <xref:System.IComparable> interface, which means the consuming code must supply a type argument that implements <xref:System.IComparable>. This is necessary so that the `add` procedure can call the <xref:System.IComparable.CompareTo%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> method. For more information on constraints, see [Type List](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/type-list.md).

 ## Implicit Narrowing Conversion Errors  
  Implicit narrowing conversion errors occur when there is an implicit data type conversion that is a narrowing conversion.  
   
- Visual Basic can convert many data types to other data types. Data loss can occur when the value of one data type is converted to a data type that has less precision or a smaller capacity. A run-time error occurs if such a narrowing conversion fails. `Option Strict` ensures compile-time notification of these narrowing conversions so that you can avoid them.

  When you call a method that has an argument that has a data type different from the corresponding parameter, a narrowing conversion causes a compile-time error if `Option Strict` is on. You can avoid the compile-time error by using a widening conversion or an explicit conversion.  
   
- Implicit narrowing conversion errors are suppressed at compile-time for conversions from the elements in a `For Each…Next` collection to the loop control variable.

 ## Late Binding Errors  
- An object is late bound when it is assigned to a property or method of a variable that is declared to be of type `Object`. For more information, see [Early and Late Binding](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/early-late-binding/index.md).  
+ An object is late bound when it is assigned to a property or method of a variable that is declared to be of type `Object`. For more information, see [Early and Late Binding](../../programming-guide/language-features/early-late-binding/index.md).  
   
 ## Implicit Object Type Errors  
- Implicit object type errors occur when an appropriate type cannot be inferred for a declared variable, so a type of `Object` is inferred. This primarily occurs when you use a `Dim` statement to declare a variable without using an `As` clause, and `Option Infer` is off. For more information, see [Option Infer Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-infer-statement.md) and the [Visual Basic Language Specification](../../../visual-basic/reference/language-specification/index.md).

For more information, see [Option Infer Statement](option-infer-statement.md) and the [Visual Basic Language Specification](../../reference/language-specification/index.md).  
   
  For method parameters, the `As` clause is optional if `Option Strict` is off. However, if any one parameter uses an `As` clause, they all must use it. If `Option Strict` is on, the `As` clause is required for every parameter definition.  
   
  If you declare a variable without using an `As` clause and set it to `Nothing`, the variable has a type of `Object`. No compile-time error occurs in this case when `Option Strict` is on and `Option Infer` is on. An example of this is `Dim something = Nothing`.

 ## Async methods
 
-If you mark a method with the [Async](../modifiers/async.md) modifier, you can use the [Await](../operators/await-operator.md) operator in the method. A statement with the `Await` operator suspends execution of the method until the awaited task completes. The task represents ongoing work. When the task that's associated with the `Await` operator finishes, execution resumes in the same method. For more information, see [Control Flow in Async Programs](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/async/control-flow-in-async-programs.md).

 A task returned by an Async method may end in a faulted state, indicating that it completed due to an unhandled exception. A task may also end in a canceled state, which results in an `OperationCanceledException` being thrown out of the await expression. To catch either type of exception, place the `Await` expression that's associated with the task in a `Try` block, and catch the exception in the `Catch` block. An example is provided later in this topic.

You can define a generic class, structure, interface, procedure, or delegate.

 ## XML Namespaces
 
-XML namespace prefixes are useful when you have to create XML literals with elements from the same namespace many times in code. You can use global XML namespace prefixes, which you define by using the `Imports` statement, or local prefixes, which you define by using the `xmlns:xmlPrefix="xmlNamespace"` attribute syntax.

 In accordance with the scoping rules for XML namespaces, local prefixes take precedence over global prefixes. However, if an XML literal defines an XML namespace, that namespace is not available to expressions that appear in an embedded expression. The embedded expression can access only the global XML namespace.

 You have made a call to an overloaded method, but the compiler has found two or more overloads with parameter lists to which your argument list can be converted, and it cannot select among them.  
   
- The compiler attempts to match the data types in the calling argument list and the overload parameter list as closely as possible. It requires a widening conversion from every one of your arguments to its corresponding parameter, whether the type checking switch ([Option Strict Statement](../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-strict-statement.md)) is `On` or `Off`.

  Normally, when you invoke a generic type, you supply a type argument for each type parameter the generic type defines.

If the inferred types fail to satisfy one or more of the type parameter constraints, the compiler generates this error.

 A generic procedure is called without supplying a type argument list, and type inference fails for one of the type arguments.

However, you have the alternative of omitting the type argument list entirely. When you do this, the compiler attempts to infer the type of each type argument from the context of your call.

For more information, see [Scope in Visual Basic](../programming-guide/language-features/declared-elements/scope.md).  
   
 3. Ensure that you have the member access operator (`.`) between an object and its member. For example, if you have a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox> control named `TextBox1`, to access its <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase.Text%2A> property you should type `TextBox1.Text`. If instead you type `TextBox1Text`, you have created a different name.

 # How to: Reference COM Objects from Visual Basic
 In Visual Basic, adding references to COM objects that have type libraries requires the creation of an interop assembly for the COM library. References to the members of the COM object are routed to the interop assembly and then forwarded to the actual COM object. Responses from the COM object are routed to the interop assembly and forwarded to your .NET Framework application.  
   
- You can reference a COM object without using an interop assembly by embedding the type information for the COM object in a .NET assembly. To embed type information, set the `Embed Interop Types` property to `True` for the reference to the COM object. If you are compiling by using the command-line compiler, use the `/link` option to reference the COM library. For more information, see [-link (Visual Basic)](../../../visual-basic/reference/command-line-compiler/link.md).

This method asynchronously awaits multiple asynchronous operations, which are represented as a collection of tasks.
 
 You might have noticed in the walkthrough that the websites download at different rates. Sometimes one of the websites is very slow, which delays all the remaining downloads. When you run the asynchronous solutions that you build in the walkthrough, you can end the program easily if you don't want to wait, but a better option would be to start all the downloads at the same time and let faster downloads continue without waiting for the one that’s delayed.
 
 You apply the `Task.WhenAll` method to a collection of tasks. The application of `WhenAll` returns a single task that isn’t complete until every task in the collection is completed. The tasks appear to run in parallel, but no additional threads are created. The tasks can complete in any order.

 You can declare generic type parameters in interfaces as covariant or contravariant. *Covariance* allows interface methods to have more derived return types than that defined by the generic type parameters. *Contravariance* allows interface methods to have argument types that are less derived than that specified by the generic parameters. A generic interface that has covariant or contravariant generic type parameters is called *variant*.

 # Expression Trees (Visual Basic)
 Expression trees represent code in a tree-like data structure, where each node is an expression, for example, a method call or a binary operation such as `x < y`.

 # Basic Query Operations (Visual Basic)
 This topic provides a brief introduction to Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) expressions in Visual Basic, and to some of the typical kinds of operations that you perform in a query. For more information, see the following topics:

 ## Specifying the Data Source (From)  
  In a LINQ query, the first step is to specify the data source that you want to query. Therefore, the `From` clause in a query always comes first. Query operators select and shape the result based on the type of the source.  
   
  [!code-vb[VbLINQBasicOps#1](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_VBCSharp/VbLINQBasicOps/VB/Class1.vb#1)]  
   
- The `From` clause specifies the data source, `customers`, and a *range variable*, `cust`. The range variable is like a loop iteration variable, except that in a query expression, no actual iteration occurs. When the query is executed, often by using a `For Each` loop, the range variable serves as a reference to each successive element in `customers`. Because the compiler can infer the type of `cust`, you do not have to specify it explicitly. For examples of queries written with and without explicit typing, see [Type Relationships in Query Operations (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/type-relationships-in-query-operations.md).

 ## Filtering Data (Where)  
  Probably the most common query operation is applying a filter in the form of a Boolean expression. The query then returns only those elements for which the expression is true. A `Where` clause is used to perform the filtering. The filter specifies which elements in the data source to include in the resulting sequence. In the following example, only those customers who have an address in London are included.

 ## Ordering Data (Order By)  
  It often is convenient to sort returned data into a particular order. The `Order By` clause will cause the elements in the returned sequence to be sorted on a specified field or fields. For example, the following query sorts the results based on the `Name` property. Because `Name` is a string, the returned data will be sorted alphabetically, from A to Z.

  To order the results in reverse order, from Z to A, use the `Order By...Descending` clause. The default is `Ascending` when neither `Ascending` nor `Descending` is specified.

 ## Selecting Data (Select)  
  The `Select` clause specifies the form and content of returned elements. For example, you can specify whether your results will consist of complete `Customer` objects, just one `Customer` property, a subset of properties, a combination of properties from various data sources, or some new result type based on a computation. When the `Select` clause produces something other than a copy of the source element, the operation is called a *projection*.

 Historically, general-purpose functional programming languages, such as ML, Scheme, Haskell, and F#, have been primarily of interest to the academic community. Although it has always been possible to write pure functional transformations in Visual Basic, the difficulty of doing so has not made it an attractive option to most programmers. With later versions of Visual Basic, however, new language constructs such as lambda expressions and type inference make it functional programming much easier and more productive.

 higher-order (first-class) function \
 A function that can be treated as a programmatic object. For example, a higher-order function can be passed to or returned from other functions. In Visual Basic, delegates and lambda expressions are language features that support higher-order functions. To write a higher-order function, you declare one or more arguments to take delegates, and you often use lambda expressions when calling it. Many of the standard query operators are higher-order functions.

 # Visual Basic Features That Support LINQ
 The name Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) refers to technology in Visual Basic that supports query syntax and other language constructs directly in the language. With LINQ, you do not have to learn a new language to query against an external data source. You can query against data in relational databases, XML stores, or objects by using Visual Basic. This integration of query capabilities into the language enables compile-time checking for syntax errors and type safety. This integration also ensures that you already know most of what you have to know to write rich, varied queries in Visual Basic.  
   
- The following sections describe the language constructs that support LINQ in enough detail to enable you to get started in reading the introductory documentation, code examples, and sample applications. You can also click the links to find more detailed explanations of how the language features come together to enable language-integrated query. A good place to start is [Walkthrough: Writing Queries in Visual Basic](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/walkthrough-writing-queries.md).

 ## Query Expressions  
  Query expressions in Visual Basic can be expressed in a declarative syntax similar to that of SQL or XQuery. At compile time, query syntax is converted into method calls to a LINQ provider's implementation of the standard query operator extension methods. Applications control which standard query operators are in scope by specifying the appropriate namespace with an `Imports` statement. Syntax for a Visual Basic query expression looks like this:

 ## Implicitly Typed Variables  
  Instead of explicitly specifying a type when you declare and initialize a variable, you can enable the compiler to infer and assign the type. This is referred to as *local type inference*.  
   
- Variables whose types are inferred are strongly typed, just like variables whose type you specify explicitly. Local type inference works only when you are defining a local variable inside a method body. For more information, see [Option Infer Statement](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-infer-statement.md) and [Local Type Inference](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/variables/local-type-inference.md).

  The query finds a node named `w:style` that has an attribute named `w:type` with a value of "paragraph", and also has an attribute named `w:default` with a value of "1". Because there will be only one XML node with these attributes, the query uses the <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.First%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> operator to convert a collection to a singleton.

 ### XML Functional Transformational Technologies  
  Microsoft offers two functional transformation technologies for use on XML documents: XSLT and LINQ to XML. XSLT is supported in the <xref:System.Xml.Xsl> managed namespace and in the native COM implementation of MSXML. Although XSLT is a robust technology for manipulating XML documents, it requires expertise in a specialized domain, namely the XSLT language and its supporting APIs.  
   
- LINQ to XML provides the tools necessary to code pure functional transformations in an expressive and powerful way, within C# or Visual Basic code. For example, many of the examples in the LINQ to XML documentation use a pure functional approach. Also, in the [Tutorial: Manipulating Content in a WordprocessingML Document (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/tutorial-manipulating-content-in-a-wordprocessingml-document.md) tutorial, we use LINQ to XML in a functional approach to manipulate information in a Microsoft Word document.

 You can extend the set of methods that you can use for LINQ queries by adding extension methods to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601> interface. For example, in addition to the standard average or maximum operations, you can create a custom aggregate method to compute a single value from a sequence of values. You can also create a method that works as a custom filter or a specific data transform for a sequence of values and returns a new sequence. Examples of such methods are <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.Distinct%2A>, <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.Skip%2A>, and <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.Reverse%2A>.
 
-When you extend the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601> interface, you can apply your custom methods to any enumerable collection. For more information, see [Extension Methods](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/procedures/extension-methods.md).

 # How to: Join Two Collections (LINQ to XML) (Visual Basic)
-An element or attribute in an XML document can sometimes refer to another element or attribute. For example, the [Sample XML File: Customers and Orders (LINQ to XML)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/sample-xml-file-customers-and-orders-linq-to-xml.md) XML document contains a list of customers and a list of orders. Each `Customer` element contains a `CustomerID` attribute. Each `Order` element contains a `CustomerID` element. The `CustomerID` element in each order refers to the `CustomerID` attribute in a customer.  
+An element or attribute in an XML document can sometimes refer to another element or attribute. For example, the [Sample XML File: Customers and Orders (LINQ to XML)](sample-xml-file-customers-and-orders-linq-to-xml.md) XML document contains a list of customers and a list of orders. Each `Customer` element contains a `CustomerID` attribute. Each `Order` element contains a `CustomerID` element. The `CustomerID` element in each order refers to the `CustomerID` attribute in a customer.  
   
- The topic [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md) contains an XSD that can be used to validate this document. It uses the `xs:key` and `xs:keyref` features of XSD to establish that the `CustomerID` attribute of the `Customer` element is a key, and to establish a relationship between the `CustomerID` element in each `Order` element and the `CustomerID` attribute in each `Customer` element.  
+ The topic [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md) contains an XSD that can be used to validate this document. It uses the `xs:key` and `xs:keyref` features of XSD to establish that the `CustomerID` attribute of the `Customer` element is a key, and to establish a relationship between the `CustomerID` element in each `Order` element and the `CustomerID` attribute in each `Customer` element.  
   
  With [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)], you can take advantage of this relationship by using the `Join` clause.  
   
  Note that because there is no index available, such joining will have poor runtime performance.  
   
- For more detailed information about `Join`, see [Join Operations (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/join-operations.md).  
+ For more detailed information about `Join`, see [Join Operations (Visual Basic)](join-operations.md).  
   
 ## Example  
  The following example joins the `Customer` elements to the `Order` elements, and generates a new XML document that includes the `CompanyName` element in the orders.  
   
- Before executing the query, the example validates that the document complies with the schema in [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md). This ensures that the join clause will always work.  
+ Before executing the query, the example validates that the document complies with the schema in [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md). This ensures that the join clause will always work.  
   
  This query first retrieves all `Customer` elements, and then joins them to the `Order` elements. It selects only the orders for customers with a `CustomerID` greater than "K". It then projects a new `Order` element that contains the customer information within each order.

+ This example uses the following XSD schema: [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md).  
   
  Note that joining in this fashion will not perform very well. Joins are performed via a linear search. There are no hash tables or indexes to help with performance.

  Streaming techniques are best applied in situations where you need to process the source document only once, and you can process the elements in document order. Certain standard query operators, such as <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.OrderBy%2A>, iterate their source, collect all of the data, sort it, and then finally yield the first item in the sequence. Note that if you use a query operator that materializes its source before yielding the first item, you will not retain a small memory footprint for your application.

 # How to: Project an Anonymous Type (Visual Basic)
 In some cases you might want to project a query to a new type, even though you know you will only use this type for a short while. It is a lot of extra work to create a new type just to use in the projection. A more efficient approach in this case is to project to an anonymous type. Anonymous types allow you to define a class, then declare and initialize an object of that class, without giving the class a name.  
   
- Anonymous types are the C# implementation of the mathematical concept of a *tuple*. The mathematical term tuple originated from the sequence single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, n-tuple. It refers to a finite sequence of objects, each of a specific type. Sometimes this is called a list of name/value pairs. For example, the contents of an address in the [Sample XML File: Typical Purchase Order (LINQ to XML)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/sample-xml-file-typical-purchase-order-linq-to-xml.md) XML document could be expressed as follows:

 # How to: Retrieve the Value of an Attribute (LINQ to XML) (Visual Basic)
-This topic shows how to obtain the value of attributes. There are two main ways: You can cast an <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute> to the desired type; the explicit conversion operator then converts the contents of the element or attribute to the specified type. Alternatively, you can use the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute.Value%2A> property. However, casting is generally the better approach. If you cast the attribute to a nullable value type, the code is simpler to write when retrieving the value of an attribute that might or might not exist. For examples of this technique, see [How to: Retrieve the Value of an Element (LINQ to XML) (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/how-to-retrieve-the-value-of-an-element-linq-to-xml.md).

 # How to: Stream XML Fragments with Access to Header Information (Visual Basic)
 Sometimes you have to read arbitrarily large XML files, and write your application so that the memory footprint of the application is predictable. If you attempt to populate an XML tree with a large XML file, your memory usage will be proportional to the size of the file—that is, excessive. Therefore, you should use a streaming technique instead.  
   
- One option is to write your application using <xref:System.Xml.XmlReader>. However, you might want to use LINQ to query the XML tree. If this is the case, you can write your own custom axis method. For more information, see [How to: Write a LINQ to XML Axis Method (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/how-to-write-a-linq-to-xml-axis-method.md).

The method then calls <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XNode.ReadFrom%2A>, which reads from the <xref:System.Xml.XmlReader> and instantiates an XML fragment. You can then write LINQ queries on your custom axis method.

 # How to: Transform the Shape of an XML Tree (Visual Basic)
 The *shape* of an XML document refers to its element names, attribute names, and the characteristics of its hierarchy.  
   
- Sometimes you will have to change the shape of an XML document. For example, you might have to send an existing XML document to another system that requires different element and attribute names. You could go through the document, deleting and renaming elements as required, but using functional construction results in more readable and maintainable code. For more information about functional construction, see [Functional Construction (LINQ to XML) (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/functional-construction-linq-to-xml.md).

 LINQ is a set of features that extends powerful query capabilities to the language syntax of Visual Basic. LINQ introduces standard, easily-learned patterns for querying and updating data, and the technology can be extended to support potentially any kind of data store.  The .NET Framework includes LINQ provider assemblies that enable the use of LINQ with .NET Framework collections, SQL Server databases, ADO.NET Datasets, and XML documents.

 # LINQ to XML Axes Overview (Visual Basic)
 After you have created an XML tree or loaded an XML document into an XML tree, you can query it to find elements and attributes and retrieve their values. You retrieve collections through the *axis methods*, also called *axes*. Some of the axes are methods in the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement> and <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XDocument> classes that return <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601> collections. Some of the axes are extension methods in the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.Extensions> class. The axes that are implemented as extension methods operate on collections, and return collections.  
   
- As described in [XElement Class Overview](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/xelement-class-overview.md), an <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement> object represents a single element node. The content of an element can be complex (sometimes called structured content), or it can be a simple element. A simple element can be empty or can contain a value. If the node contains structured content, you can use the various axis methods to retrieve enumerations of descendant elements. The most commonly used axis methods are <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XContainer.Elements%2A> and <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XContainer.Descendants%2A>.

  In addition to the axis methods, which return collections, there are two more methods that you will commonly use in [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] queries. The <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XContainer.Element%2A> method returns a single <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement>.

  [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] is designed to make XML names as straightforward as possible. Due to their complexity, XML names are often considered to be an advanced topic in XML. Arguably, this complexity comes not from namespaces, which developers use regularly in programming, but from namespace prefixes. Namespace prefixes can be useful to reduce the keystrokes required when you input XML, or to make XML easier to read. However, prefixes are often just a shortcut for using the full XML namespace, and are not required in most cases. [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] simplifies XML names by resolving all prefixes to their corresponding XML namespace. Prefixes are available, if they are required, through the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement.GetPrefixOfNamespace%2A> method.

 ## Working Directly with XML Elements  
  When you program with XML, your primary focus is usually on XML elements and perhaps on attributes. In [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)], you can work directly with XML elements and attributes. For example, you can do the following:

  Another problem with the DOM is that it does not let you change the name of a node. Instead, you have to create a new node and copy all the child nodes to it, losing the original node identity. [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] avoids this problem by enabling you to set the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XName> property on a node.  
   
 ## Static Method Support for Loading XML  
- [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] lets you load XML by using static methods, instead of instance methods. This simplifies loading and parsing.

 ## Removal of Support for DTD Constructs  
  [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] further simplifies XML programming by removing support for entities and entity references. The management of entities is complex, and is rarely used. Removing their support increases performance and simplifies the programming interface.

 ## Support for Annotations  
- [!INCLUDE[sqltecxlinq](~/includes/sqltecxlinq-md.md)] elements support an extensible set of annotations. This is useful for tracking miscellaneous information about an element, such as schema information, information about whether the element is bound to a UI, or any other kind of application-specific information. For more information, see [LINQ to XML Annotations](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/linq-to-xml-annotations.md).

 ## Example  
  This example processes a WordprocessingML document, retrieving the paragraph nodes from a WordprocessingML document. It also identifies the style of each paragraph. This example builds on the previous examples in this tutorial. The refactored code is called out in comments in the code below.

  Removing a single element or a single attribute from an XML document is straightforward. However, when removing collections of elements or attributes, you should first materialize a collection into a list, and then delete the elements or attributes from the list. The best approach is to use the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.Extensions.Remove%2A> extension method, which will do this for you.

  This example demonstrates three approaches to removing elements. First, it removes a single element.

- The topic [Sample XSD File: Customers and Orders](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/sample-xsd-file-customers-and-orders.md) contains an XSD that can be used to validate this document. It uses the `xs:key` and `xs:keyref` features of XSD to establish that the `CustomerID` attribute of the `Customer` element is a key, and to establish a relationship between the `CustomerID` element in each `Order` element and the `CustomerID` attribute in each `Customer` element.

 However, even if you use local type inference in a query, the same type relationships are present among the variables in the data source, the query variable, and the query execution loop. It is useful to have a basic understanding of these type relationships when you are writing LINQ queries, or working with the samples and code examples in the documentation.
 
-You may need to specify an explicit type for a range variable that does not match the type returned from the data source. You can specify the type of the range variable by using an `As` clause. However, this results in an error if the conversion is a [narrowing conversion](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/data-types/widening-and-narrowing-conversions.md) and `Option Strict` is set to `On`. Therefore, we recommend that you perform the conversion on the values retrieved from the data source. You can convert the values from the data source to the explicit range variable type by using the <xref:System.Linq.Enumerable.Cast%2A> method. You can also cast the values selected in the `Select` clause to an explicit type that is different from the type of the range variable. These points are illustrated in the following code.

 ## Queries That Require Anonymous Types
 
-The following example shows a more complex situation. In the previous example, it was inconvenient to specify types for all the variables explicitly. In this example, it is impossible. Instead of selecting entire `Customer` elements from the data source, or a single field from each element, the `Select` clause in this query returns two properties of the original `Customer` object: `Name` and `City`. In response to the `Select` clause, the compiler defines an anonymous type that contains those two properties. The result of executing `nameCityQuery` in the `For Each` loop is a collection of instances of the new anonymous type. Because the anonymous type has no usable name, you cannot specify the type of `nameCityQuery` or `custInfo` explicitly. That is, with an anonymous type, you have no type name to use in place of `String` in `IEnumerable(Of String)`. For more information, see [Anonymous Types](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/objects-and-classes/anonymous-types.md).

-When executed, the query added in this section produces a list of the students whose academic rank puts them in the top ten. Because the query selects the complete `Student` object each time, the type of the query result is `IEnumerable(Of Student)`. However, the type of the query typically is not specified in query definitions. Instead, the compiler uses local type inference to determine the type. For more information, see [Local Type Inference](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/variables/local-type-inference.md). The query's range variable, `currentStudent`, serves as a reference to each `Student` instance in the source, `students`, providing access to the properties of each object in `students`.

  When accessing packages, it is important that you do so through the relationships between parts, rather than using an arbitrary path. This issue is beyond the scope of the Manipulating Content in a WordprocessingML Document tutorial, but the example programs that are included in this tutorial demonstrate the correct approach.  
   
 ## A Document that Uses Styles  
- The WordML example presented in the [Shape of WordprocessingML Documents (Visual Basic)](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/concepts/linq/shape-of-wordprocessingml-documents.md) topic is a very simple one. The following document is more complicated: It has paragraphs that are formatted with styles.

  Designer serialization is a special form of serialization that involves the kind of object persistence usually associated with development tools. Designer serialization is the process of converting an object graph into a source file that can later be used to recover the object graph. A source file can contain code, markup, or even SQL table information.

 Although you can set an object's properties to default values at design time, any values entered at run time are lost when the object is destroyed. You can use serialization to persist an object's data between instances, which enables you to store values and retrieve them the next time that the object is instantiated.

 *Collection initializers* provide a shortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values. Collection initializers are useful when you are creating a collection from a set of known values, for example, a list of menu options or categories, an initial set of numeric values, a static list of strings such as day or month names, or geographic locations such as a list of states that is used for validation.

The following examples show various ways to use collection initializers to create collections.

 # Constant and Literal Data Types (Visual Basic)
 A literal is a value that is expressed as itself rather than as a variable's value or the result of an expression, such as the number 3 or the string "Hello". A constant is a meaningful name that takes the place of a literal and retains this same value throughout the program, as opposed to a variable, whose value may change.  
   
- When [Option Infer](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-infer-statement.md) is `Off` and [Option Strict](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-strict-statement.md) is `On`, you must declare all constants explicitly with a data type.

 # How to: Refer to an Enumeration Member (Visual Basic)
 Enumerations provide a convenient way to work with sets of related constants and to associate constant values with names. For example, you can declare an enumeration for a set of integer constants associated with the days of the week, and then use the names of the days rather than their integer values in your code.  
   
- You can avoid using fully qualified names with the `Imports` statement. For more information, see [Enumerations and Name Qualification](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/constants-enums/enumerations-and-name-qualification.md).

 ## Naming Enumerations  
  Use a naming convention for enumeration members. When Visual Basic encounters an enumeration member name, an exception may be thrown if other referenced type libraries contain the same name. Use a unique prefix that identifies the values from your application or component.  
   
- When referring to a member of an enumeration, you must qualify the member name with the enumeration name or else use the `Imports` statement.

- Visual Basic provides a number of predefined enumerations, such as `FirstDayOfWeek` and `MsgBoxResult`, to facilitate your code. For a list of these see [Constants and Enumerations](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/constants-and-enumerations.md).

- The `For`...`Next` construction performs the loop a set number of times. It uses a loop control variable, also called a *counter*, to keep track of the repetitions. You specify the starting and ending values for this counter, and you can optionally specify the amount by which it increases from one repetition to the next. For more information, see [For...Next Statement](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/for-next-statement.md).

- The `For Each`...`Next` construction runs a set of statements once for each element in a collection.

 Visual Basic provides control structures that help you dispose of a resource or reduce the number of times you have to repeat an object reference.  
   
 ## Using...End Using Construction  
- The `Using...End Using` construction establishes a statement block within which you make use of a resource such as a SQL connection. You can optionally acquire the resource with the `Using` statement. When you exit the `Using` block, Visual Basic automatically disposes of the resource so that it is available for other code to use. The resource must be local and disposable. For more information, see [Using Statement](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/using-statement.md).

  When you declare an `Object` array without initializing it, its element type is `Object` as long as it remains uninitialized. When you set it to an array of a specific class, it takes on the type of that class. However, its underlying type is still `Object`, and you can subsequently set it to another array of an unrelated class. Since all classes derive from `Object`, you can change the array's element type from any class to any other class.

 ## The CType Function
 
-The [CType Function](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/functions/ctype-function.md) operates on two arguments. The first is the expression to be converted, and the second is the destination data type or object class. Note that the first argument must be an expression, not a type.

 `CType` is an *inline function*, meaning the compiled code makes the conversion, often without generating a function call. This improves performance.

You can hold numbers from -79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 through 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 in a `Decimal` variable if you do not use any decimal places. However, operations with `Decimal` numbers are considerably slower than with any other numeric data type.  
   
 ### Small Integers  
  If you do not need the full range of the `Integer` data type, you can use the `Short` data type, which can hold integers from -32,768 through 32,767. For the smallest integer range, the `SByte` data type holds integers from -128 through 127. If you have a very large number of variables that hold small integers, the common language runtime can sometimes store your `Short` and `SByte` variables more efficiently and save memory consumption. However, operations with `Short` and `SByte` are somewhat slower than with `Integer`.

  Structures are useful when you want a single variable to hold several related pieces of information. For example, you might want to keep an employee's name, telephone extension, and salary together. You could use several variables for this information, or you could define a structure and use it for a single employee variable. The advantage of the structure becomes apparent when you have many employees and therefore many instances of the variable.

 ### Narrowing Conversion Protection
 
 The disadvantage of narrowing conversions is that they can fail at run time. For example, if a `String` variable contains anything other than "True" or "False," it cannot be converted to `Boolean`. If it contains punctuation characters, conversion to any numeric type fails. Unless you know that your `String` variable always holds values that the destination type can accept, you should not try a conversion.
 
-If you must convert from `String` to another data type, the safest procedure is to enclose the attempted conversion in the [Try...Catch...Finally Statement](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/try-catch-finally-statement.md). This lets you deal with a run-time failure.

 The process of changing a value from one data type to another type is called *conversion*. Conversions are either *widening* or *narrowing*, depending on the data capacities of the types involved. They are also *implicit* or *explicit*, depending on the syntax in the source code.

 ## Working with the Object Data Type  
- You can assign either a reference type or a value type to a variable of the `Object` data type. An `Object` variable always holds a reference to the data, never the data itself. However, if you assign a value type to an `Object` variable, it behaves as if it holds its own data.

For more information, see [Object Data Type](../../../language-reference/data-types/object-data-type.md).  
   
  You can find out whether an `Object` variable is acting as a reference type or a value type by passing it to the <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.IsReference%2A> method in the <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information> class of the <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace. <xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.IsReference%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> returns `True` if the content of the `Object` variable represents a reference type.

 ### When to Use Narrowing Conversions  
  You use a narrowing conversion when you know the source value can be converted to the destination data type without error or data loss. For example, if you have a `String` that you know contains either "True" or "False," you can use the `CBool` keyword to convert it to `Boolean`.

 ## Changes During Reference Type Conversions  
  A conversion from a *reference type* copies only the pointer to the value. The value itself is neither copied nor changed in any way. The only thing that can change is the data type of the variable holding the pointer. In the following example, the data type is converted from the derived class to its base class, but the object that both variables now point to is unchanged.

 ## Shadowing

A shadowed element is not available for reference; instead, when your code uses the shadowed element name, the Visual Basic compiler resolves it to the shadowing element.

 ### Minimizing Scope
 
-In general, when declaring any variable or constant, it is good programming practice to make the scope as narrow as possible (block scope is the narrowest). This helps conserve memory and minimizes the chances of your code erroneously referring to the wrong variable. Similarly, you should declare a variable to be [Static](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/static.md) only when it is necessary to preserve its value between procedure calls.

 #### Shadowing and Access Level  
  The shadowing element is not always accessible from the code using the derived class. For example, it might be declared `Private`. In such a case, shadowing is defeated and the compiler resolves any reference to the same element it would have if there had been no shadowing. This element is the accessible element the fewest derivational steps backward from the shadowing class. If the shadowed element is a procedure, the resolution is to the closest accessible version with the same name, parameter list, and return type.

 ## Accessing a Shadowed Element  
  When you access an element from a derived class, you normally do so through the current instance of that derived class, by qualifying the element name with the `Me` keyword. If your derived class shadows the element in the base class, you can access the base class element by qualifying it with the `MyBase` keyword.

  You may have spotted another flaw in this sample. The `Timer` property returns the number of seconds that have passed since midnight; therefore, the application gets stuck if it is started just before midnight. A more careful approach to measuring time would take boundary conditions such as this into consideration, or avoid them altogether, using properties such as `Now`.

 ## Deciding Whether to Use Anonymous Types  
  Before you create an object as an instance of an anonymous class, consider whether that is the best option. For example, if you want to create a temporary object to contain related data, and you have no need for other fields and methods that a complete class might contain, an anonymous type is a good solution. Anonymous types are also convenient if you want a different selection of properties for each declaration, or if you want to change the order of the properties. However, if your project includes several objects that have the same properties, in a fixed order, you can declare them more easily by using a named type with a class constructor. For example, with an appropriate constructor, it is easier to declare several instances of a `Product` class than it is to declare several instances of an anonymous type.

 ## Bitwise Operations  
- In addition to being logical operators, `Not`, `Or`, `And`, and `Xor` also perform bitwise arithmetic when used on numeric values.

 ## Type Safety  
  Operands should normally be of the same type. For example, if you are doing addition with an `Integer` variable, you should add it to another `Integer` variable, and you should assign the result to a variable of type `Integer` as well.  
   
- One way to ensure good type-safe coding practice is to use the [Option Strict Statement](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-strict-statement.md). If you set `Option Strict On`, Visual Basic automatically performs *type-safe* conversions. For example, if you try to add an `Integer` variable to a `Double` variable and assign the value to a `Double` variable, the operation proceeds normally, because an `Integer` value can be converted to `Double` without loss of data. Type-unsafe conversions, on the other hand, cause a compiler error with `Option Strict On`. For example, if you try to add an `Integer` variable to a `Double` variable and assign the value to an `Integer` variable, a compiler error results, because a `Double` variable cannot be implicitly converted to type `Integer`.  
+ One way to ensure good type-safe coding practice is to use the [Option Strict Statement](../../../language-reference/statements/option-strict-statement.md). If you set `Option Strict On`, Visual Basic automatically performs *type-safe* conversions. For example, if you try to add an `Integer` variable to a `Double` variable and assign the value to a `Double` variable, the operation proceeds normally, because an `Integer` value can be converted to `Double` without loss of data. Type-unsafe conversions, on the other hand, cause a compiler error with `Option Strict On`. For example, if you try to add an `Integer` variable to a `Double` variable and assign the value to an `Integer` variable, a compiler error results, because a `Double` variable cannot be implicitly converted to type `Integer`.  
   
- If you set `Option Strict Off`, however, Visual Basic allows implicit narrowing conversions to take place, although they can result in the unexpected loss of data or precision. For this reason, we recommend that you use `Option Strict On` when writing production code. For more information, see [Widening and Narrowing Conversions](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/data-types/widening-and-narrowing-conversions.md).

 # Boolean Expressions (Visual Basic)
-A *Boolean expression* is an expression that evaluates to a value of the [Boolean Data Type](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/data-types/boolean-data-type.md): `True` or `False`. `Boolean` expressions can take several forms. The simplest is the direct comparison of the value of a `Boolean` variable to a `Boolean` literal, as shown in the following example.

 ## Comparison Operators  
  Comparison operators such as `=`, `<`, `>`, `<>`, `<=`, and `>=` produce Boolean expressions by comparing the expression on the left side of the operator to the expression on the right side of the operator and evaluating the result as `True` or `False`. The following example illustrates this.

 ## Parenthetical Expressions  
- You can use parentheses to control the order of evaluation of Boolean expressions. Expressions enclosed by parentheses evaluate first.

 Logical operators compare `Boolean` expressions and return a `Boolean` result. The `And`, `Or`, `AndAlso`, `OrElse`, and `Xor` operators are *binary* because they take two operands, while the `Not` operator is *unary* because it takes a single operand. Some of these operators can also perform bitwise logical operations on integral values.  
   
 ## Unary Logical Operator

 ## Short-Circuiting Logical Operations  
- The [AndAlso Operator](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/operators/andalso-operator.md) is very similar to the `And` operator, in that it also performs logical conjunction on two `Boolean` expressions. The key difference between the two is that `AndAlso` exhibits *short-circuiting* behavior.

 ### Short-Circuiting Trade-Offs  
  Short-circuiting can improve performance by not evaluating an expression that cannot alter the result of the logical operation. However, if that expression performs additional actions, short-circuiting skips those actions. For example, if the expression includes a call to a `Function` procedure, that procedure is not called if the expression is short-circuited, and any additional code contained in the `Function` does not run. Therefore, the function might run only occasionally, and might not be tested correctly. Or the program logic might depend on the code in the `Function`.

 # How to: Declare a Property with Mixed Access Levels (Visual Basic)
 If you want the `Get` and `Set` procedures on a property to have different access levels, you can use the more permissive level in the `Property` statement and the more restrictive level in either the `Get` or `Set` statement. You use mixed access levels on a property when you want certain parts of the code to be able to get the property's value, and certain other parts of the code to be able to change the value.

 # How to: Pass Arguments to a Procedure (Visual Basic)
 When you call a procedure, you follow the procedure name with an argument list in parentheses. You supply an argument corresponding to every required parameter the procedure defines, and you can optionally supply arguments to the `Optional` parameters. If you do not supply an `Optional` parameter in the call, you must include a comma to mark its place in the argument list if you are supplying any subsequent arguments.

 # How to: Protect a Procedure Argument Against Value Changes (Visual Basic)
-If a procedure declares a parameter as [ByRef](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byref.md), Visual Basic gives the procedure code a direct reference to the programming element underlying the argument in the calling code. This permits the procedure to change the value underlying the argument in the calling code. In some cases the calling code might want to protect against such a change.

This permits the procedure to change the value underlying the argument in the calling code. In some cases the calling code might want to protect against such a change.  
   
- You can always protect an argument from change by declaring the corresponding parameter [ByVal](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byval.md) in the procedure. If you want to be able to change a given argument in some cases but not others, you can declare it `ByRef` and let the calling code determine the passing mechanism in each call. It does this by enclosing the corresponding argument in parentheses to pass it by value, or not enclosing it in parentheses to pass it by reference. For more information, see [How to: Force an Argument to Be Passed by Value](./how-to-force-an-argument-to-be-passed-by-value.md).

 ## Example  
  The following example shows two procedures that take an array variable and operate on its elements. The `increase` procedure simply adds one to each element. The `replace` procedure assigns a new array to the parameter `a()` and then adds one to each element. However, the reassignment does not affect the underlying array variable in the calling code.

  The second `MsgBox` call displays "After replace(n): 11, 21, 31, 41". Because `n` is passed `ByVal`, `replace` cannot modify the variable `n` in the calling code by assigning a new array to it. When `replace` creates the new array instance `k` and assigns it to the local variable `a`, it loses the reference to `n` passed in by the calling code. When it changes the members of `a`, only the local array `k` is affected. Therefore, `replace` does not increment the values of array `n` in the calling code.  
   
 ## Compile the code  
- The default in Visual Basic is to pass arguments by value. However, it is good programming practice to include either the [ByVal](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byval.md) or [ByRef](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/byref.md) keyword with every declared parameter. This makes your code easier to read.

 - In multi-line lambda functions, you can either specify a return type by using an `As` clause, or omit the `As` clause so that the return type is inferred. When the `As` clause is omitted for a multi-line lambda function, the return type is inferred to be the dominant type from all the `Return` statements in the multi-line lambda function. The *dominant type* is a unique type that all other types can widen to. If this unique type cannot be determined, the dominant type is the unique type that all other types in the array can narrow to. If neither of these unique types can be determined, the dominant type is `Object`. In this case, if `Option Strict` is set to `On`, a compiler error occurs.

-A lambda expression can be implicitly converted to a compatible delegate type. For information about the general requirements for compatibility, see [Relaxed Delegate Conversion](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/delegates/relaxed-delegate-conversion.md). For example, the following code example shows a lambda expression that implicitly converts to `Func(Of Integer, Boolean)` or a matching delegate signature.

 ## Culture-Sensitive Functions  
  All of the Visual Basic string-conversion functions (except for the `Str` and `Val` functions) use the application's culture information to make sure that the conversions and comparisons are appropriate for the culture of the application's user.  
   
- The key to successfully using string-conversion functions in applications that run on computers with different culture settings is to understand which functions use a specific culture setting, and which use the current culture setting. Notice that the application's culture settings are, by default, inherited from the culture settings of the operating system.

 # How to: Determine What Type an Object Variable Refers To (Visual Basic)

 # How to: Determine Whether Two Objects Are Identical (Visual Basic)
 In Visual Basic, two variable references are considered identical if their pointers are the same, that is, if both variables point to the same class instance in memory. For example, in a Windows Forms application, you might want to make a comparison to determine whether the current instance (`Me`) is the same as a particular instance, such as `Form2`.  
   
- Visual Basic provides two operators to compare pointers. The [Is Operator](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/operators/is-operator.md) returns `True` if the objects are identical, and the [IsNot Operator](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/operators/isnot-operator.md) returns `True` if they are not.

  Visual Basic, just like most programming languages, uses variables for storing values. A *variable* has a name (the word that you use to refer to the value that the variable contains). A variable also has a data type (which determines the kind of data that the variable can store). A variable can represent an array if it has to store an indexed set of closely related data items.  
   
- Local type inference enables you to declare variables without explicitly stating a data type. Instead, the compiler infers the type of the variable from the type of the initialization expression.

  In this example, `p` can use only the members of the <xref:System.Object> class itself, which do not include the `Left` property.

 ### Correct Approach  
- To be able to access all the members of an object of a particular class, declare the object variable to be of the type of that class when possible. If you cannot do this, for example if you do not know the object type at compile time, you must set `Option Strict` to `Off` and declare the variable to be of the [Object Data Type](../../../../visual-basic/language-reference/data-types/object-data-type.md). This allows objects of any type to be assigned to the variable, and you should take steps to ensure that the currently assigned object is of an acceptable type.

  To allow other components to access your variables, treat their names as if they were case-sensitive. When you are testing your class or module, make sure other assemblies are binding to the variables you expect them to. Once you have published a component, do not make any modifications to existing variable names, including changing their cases.  
   
 ## Wrong Variable Being Used  
- When you have more than one variable with the same name, the Visual Basic compiler attempts to resolve each reference to that name. If the variables have different scope, the compiler resolves a reference to the declaration with the narrowest scope. If they have the same scope, the resolution fails and the compiler signals an error.

 ## Local Type Inference  
  *Type inference* is used to determine the data types of local variables declared without an `As` clause. The compiler infers the type of the variable from the type of the initialization expression. This enables you to declare variables without explicitly stating a type. In the following example, both `num1` and `num2` are strongly typed as integers.

 ## Characteristics of Declared Variables  
- The *lifetime* of a variable is the period of time during which it is available for use. In general, a variable exists as long as the element that declares it (such as a procedure or class) continues to exist. If the variable does not need to continue existing beyond the lifetime of its containing element, you do not need to do anything special in the declaration. If the variable needs to continue to exist longer than its containing element, you can include the `Static` or `Shared` keyword in its `Dim` statement. For more information, see [Lifetime in Visual Basic](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/declared-elements/lifetime.md).

- The *scope* of a variable is the set of all code that can refer to it without qualifying its name. A variable's scope is determined by where it is declared.

For more information, see [XML Literals Overview](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/xml/xml-literals-overview.md) and [Accessing XML in Visual Basic](../../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/xml/accessing-xml.md).

 ## Accessing and Navigating XML  
  Visual Basic provides XML axis properties for accessing and navigating XML structures. These properties enable you to access XML elements and attributes by specifying the XML child element names. Alternatively, you can explicitly call the LINQ methods for navigating and locating elements and attributes. For example, the following code example uses XML axis properties to refer to the attributes and child elements of an XML element. The code example uses a LINQ query to retrieve child elements and output them as XML elements, effectively performing a transform.

  An XML literal can span multiple lines without using line continuation characters (the space-underscore-enter sequence). This makes it easier to compare XML literals in code with XML documents.

The [Option Explicit Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-explicit-statement.md) ensures that all variables are declared and spelled correctly, which reduces debugging time. The [Option Strict Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-strict-statement.md) helps to minimize logic errors and data loss that can occur when you work between variables of different data types. The [Option Compare Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/option-compare-statement.md) specifies the way strings are compared to each other, based on either their `Binary` or `Text` values.

 ### Imports Statements  
- You can include an [Imports Statement (.NET Namespace and Type)](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/imports-statement-net-namespace-and-type.md) to import names defined outside your project. An `Imports` statement allows your code to refer to classes and other types defined within the imported namespace, without having to qualify them. You can use as many `Imports` statements as appropriate. For more information, see [References and the Imports Statement](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/program-structure/references-and-the-imports-statement.md).

 ### Namespace Statements  
- Namespaces help you organize and classify your programming elements for ease of grouping and accessing. You use the [Namespace Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/namespace-statement.md) to classify the following statements within a particular namespace. For more information, see [Namespaces in Visual Basic](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/program-structure/namespaces.md).

For more information, see [Namespaces in Visual Basic](namespaces.md).  
   
 ### Conditional Compilation Statements  
- Conditional compilation statements can appear almost anywhere in your source file. They cause parts of your code to be included or excluded at compile time depending on certain conditions. You can also use them for debugging your application, because conditional code runs in debugging mode only. For more information, see [Conditional Compilation](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/program-structure/conditional-compilation.md).

 ## Namespace-Level Programming Elements  
  Classes, structures, and modules contain all the code in your source file. They are *namespace-level* elements, which can appear within a namespace or at the source file level. They hold the declarations of all other programming elements. Interfaces, which define element signatures but provide no implementation, also appear at module level. For more information on the module-level elements, see the following:

+- [Interface Statement](../../language-reference/statements/interface-statement.md)  
   
  Data elements at namespace level are enumerations and delegates.  
   
 ## Module-Level Programming Elements  
  Procedures, operators, properties, and events are the only programming elements that can hold executable code (statements that perform actions at run time). They are the *module-level* elements of your program. For more information on the procedure-level elements, see the following:  
   
-- [Function Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/function-statement.md)  
+- [Function Statement](../../language-reference/statements/function-statement.md)

+- [Event Statement](../../language-reference/statements/event-statement.md)  
   
  Data elements at module level are variables, constants, enumerations, and delegates.  
   
 ## Procedure-Level Programming Elements  
- Most of the contents of *procedure-level* elements are executable statements, which constitute the run-time code of your program. All executable code must be in some procedure (`Function`, `Sub`, `Operator`, `Get`, `Set`, `AddHandler`, `RemoveHandler`, `RaiseEvent`). For more information, see [Statements](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/statements.md).

 ## Remarks
 
-The `-delaysign` option has no effect unless used with [-keyfile](../../../visual-basic/reference/command-line-compiler/keyfile.md) or [-keycontainer](../../../visual-basic/reference/command-line-compiler/keycontainer.md).
+The `-delaysign` option has no effect unless used with [-keyfile](keyfile.md) or [-keycontainer](keycontainer.md).
 
 When you request a fully signed assembly, the compiler hashes the file that contains the manifest (assembly metadata) and signs that hash with the private key. The resulting digital signature is stored in the file that contains the manifest. When an assembly is delay signed, the compiler does not compute and store the signature but reserves space in the file so the signature can be added later.

Conversely, options in a response file override options listed previously on the command line or in other response files.

 # Shared (Visual Basic)
-Specifies that one or more declared programming elements are associated with a class or structure at large, and not with a specific instance of the class or structure.  
-  
-## Remarks  
-  
-## When to Use Shared  
- Sharing a member of a class or structure makes it available to every instance, rather than *nonshared*, where each instance keeps its own copy. This is useful, for example, if the value of a variable applies to the entire application. If you declare that variable to be `Shared`, then all instances access the same storage location, and if one instance changes the variable's value, all instances access the updated value.  
-  
- Sharing does not alter the access level of a member. For example, a class member can be shared and private (accessible only from within the class), or nonshared and public. For more information, see [Access levels in Visual Basic](../../programming-guide/language-features/declared-elements/access-levels.md).  
-  
-## Rules  
-  
-- **Declaration Context.** You can use `Shared` only at module level. This means the declaration context for a `Shared` element must be a class or structure, and cannot be a source file, namespace, or procedure.  
-  
-- **Combined Modifiers.** You cannot specify `Shared` together with [Overrides](overrides.md), [Overridable](overridable.md), [NotOverridable](notoverridable.md), [MustOverride](mustoverride.md), or [Static](static.md) in the same declaration.  
-  
-- **Accessing.** You access a shared element by qualifying it with its class or structure name, not with the variable name of a specific instance of its class or structure. You do not even have to create an instance of a class or structure to access its shared members.  
-  
-     The following example calls the shared procedure <xref:System.Double.IsNaN%2A> exposed by the <xref:System.Double> structure.  
-  
-     `If Double.IsNaN(result) Then MsgBox("Result is mathematically undefined.")`  
-  
-- **Implicit Sharing.** You cannot use the `Shared` modifier in a [Const Statement](../statements/const-statement.md), but constants are implicitly shared. Similarly, you cannot declare a member of a module or an interface to be `Shared`, but they are implicitly shared.  
-  
-## Behavior  
-  
-- **Storage.** A shared variable or event is stored in memory only once, no matter how many or few instances you create of its class or structure. Similarly, a shared procedure or property holds only one set of local variables.  
-  
-- **Accessing through an Instance Variable.** It is possible to access a shared element by qualifying it with the name of a variable that contains a specific instance of its class or structure. Although this usually works as expected, the compiler generates a warning message and makes the access through the class or structure name instead of the variable.  
-  
-- **Accessing through an Instance Expression.** If you access a shared element through an expression that returns an instance of its class or structure, the compiler makes the access through the class or structure name instead of evaluating the expression. This produces unexpected results if you intended the expression to perform other actions as well as returning the instance. The following example illustrates this.  
+
+Specifies that one or more declared programming elements are associated with a class or structure at large, and not with a specific instance of the class or structure.

+Sharing a member of a class or structure makes it available to every instance, rather than *non-shared*, where each instance keeps its own copy. This is useful, for example, if the value of a variable applies to the entire application. If you declare that variable to be `Shared`, then all instances access the same storage location, and if one instance changes the variable's value, all instances access the updated value.
+
+Sharing does not alter the access level of a member. For example, a class member can be shared and private (accessible only from within the class), or non-shared and public. For more information, see [Access levels in Visual Basic](../../../visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/declared-elements/access-levels.md).
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Declaration Context.** You can use `Shared` only at module level. This means the declaration context for a `Shared` element must be a class or structure, and cannot be a source file, namespace, or procedure.
+
+- **Combined Modifiers.** You cannot specify `Shared` together with [Overrides](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/overrides.md), [Overridable](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/overridable.md), [NotOverridable](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/notoverridable.md), [MustOverride](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/mustoverride.md), or [Static](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/modifiers/static.md) in the same declaration.
+
+- **Accessing.** You access a shared element by qualifying it with its class or structure name, not with the variable name of a specific instance of its class or structure. You do not even have to create an instance of a class or structure to access its shared members.
+
+     The following example calls the shared procedure <xref:System.Double.IsNaN%2A> exposed by the <xref:System.Double> structure.
+
+     ```vb
+     If Double.IsNaN(result) Then Console.WriteLine("Result is mathematically undefined.")
+     ```
+
+- **Implicit Sharing.** You cannot use the `Shared` modifier in a [Const Statement](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/statements/const-statement.md), but constants are implicitly shared. Similarly, you cannot declare a member of a module or an interface to be `Shared`, but they are implicitly shared.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- **Storage.** A shared variable or event is stored in memory only once, no matter how many or few instances you create of its class or structure. Similarly, a shared procedure or property holds only one set of local variables.
+
+- **Accessing through an Instance Variable.** It is possible to access a shared element by qualifying it with the name of a variable that contains a specific instance of its class or structure. Although this usually works as expected, the compiler generates a warning message and makes the access through the class or structure name instead of the variable.
+
+- **Accessing through an Instance Expression.** If you access a shared element through an expression that returns an instance of its class or structure, the compiler makes the access through the class or structure name instead of evaluating the expression. This produces unexpected results if you intended the expression to perform other actions as well as returning the instance. The following example illustrates this.
   
     ```vb
-    Sub main()  
-        shareTotal.total = 10  
-        ' The preceding line is the preferred way to access total.  
-        Dim instanceVar As New shareTotal  
-        instanceVar.total += 100  
-        ' The preceding line generates a compiler warning message and  
-        ' accesses total through class shareTotal instead of through  
-        ' the variable instanceVar. This works as expected and adds  
-        ' 100 to total.  
-        returnClass().total += 1000  
-        ' The preceding line generates a compiler warning message and  
-        ' accesses total through class shareTotal instead of calling  
-        ' returnClass(). This adds 1000 to total but does not work as  
-        ' expected, because the MsgBox in returnClass() does not run.  
-        MsgBox("Value of total is " & CStr(shareTotal.total))  
-    End Sub  
-    Public Function returnClass() As shareTotal  
-        MsgBox("Function returnClass() called")  
-        Return New shareTotal  
-    End Function  
-    Public Class shareTotal  
-        Public Shared total As Integer  
-    End Class  
-    ```  
-  
-     In the preceding example, the compiler generates a warning message both times the code accesses the shared variable `total` through an instance. In each case it makes the access directly through the class `shareTotal` and does not make use of any instance. In the case of the intended call to the procedure `returnClass`, this means it does not even generate a call to `returnClass`, so the additional action of displaying "Function returnClass() called" is not performed.

+    End Function
+
+    Public Class ShareTotal
+        Public Shared Property Total As Integer
+    End Class

+     In the preceding example, the compiler generates a warning message both times the code accesses the shared property `Total` through an instance.

 ### Differences between classes and modules
 
-The main difference between classes and modules is that classes can be instantiated as objects while standard modules cannot. Because there is only one copy of a standard module's data, when one part of your program changes a public variable in a standard module, any other part of the program gets the same value if it then reads that variable. In contrast, object data exists separately for each instantiated object. Another difference is that unlike standard modules, classes can implement interfaces.

In contrast, object data exists separately for each instantiated object. Another difference is that unlike standard modules, classes can implement interfaces. If a class is marked with the [MustInherit](../../../language-reference/modifiers/mustinherit.md) modifier, it can't be instantiated directly. However, it's still different from a module as it can be inherited while modules can't be inherited.

 Objects let you declare variables and procedures once and then reuse them whenever needed. For example, if you want to add a spelling checker to an application you could define all the variables and support functions to provide spell-checking functionality. If you create your spelling checker as a class, you can then reuse it in other applications by adding a reference to the compiled assembly. Better yet, you may be able to save yourself some work by using a spelling checker class that someone else has already developed.
