VB counterpart to C# static constructors?

[Siegfried Heintze]

Can one declare static constructors in VB like one can in C#? In C#, static
constructors execute once before any instances have been created.
Thanks,
Siegfried

in a class:

Shared Sub New()


in a Module:

Sub New()


Note: Modules are the equivalent of a Shared (aka static) Class.

The answer to your question is "Shared", though the following link
should help you on other C# to VB.NET conversions:

That's a great website. When I took a job doing C#, it really saved my
bacon...
