Editing Constructor (object-oriented programming) (section)

=== Visual Basic .NET ===
In [[Visual Basic .NET]], constructors use a method declaration with the name "<code>New</code>".

<syntaxhighlight lang="vbnet">
Class Foobar
    Private strData As String

    ' Constructor
    Public Sub New(ByVal someParam As String)
        strData = someParam
    End Sub
End Class
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="vbnet">
' code somewhere else
' instantiating an object with the above constructor
Dim foo As New Foobar(".NET")
</syntaxhighlight>
