About VB.NET Procedure / Method

@ A procedure is a block of Visual Basic statements enclosed by a declaration statement (Function, Sub, Operator, Get, Set) and a matching End declaration. All executable statements in Visual Basic must be within some procedure.

@ Types of Procedures
Visual Basic uses several types of procedures:
· Sub Procedures perform actions but do not return a value to the calling code.
· Event-handling procedures are Sub procedures that execute in response to an event raised by user action or by an occurrence in a program.
· Function Procedures return a value to the calling code. They can perform other actions before returning.
· Property Procedures return and assign values of properties on objects or modules.
· Operator Procedures define the behavior of a standard operator when one or both of the operands is a newly-defined class or structure.
· Generic Procedures in Visual Basic define one or more type parameters in addition to their normal parameters, so the calling code can pass specific data types each time it makes a call.
